Sneharika Roy

Sneharika Roy is Associate Professor and Writing Program Administrator in Comparative Literature and English at the American University of Paris. Her research focuses on postcolonial reinterpretations of epic traditions, examining texts like Shashi Tharoor's 'The Great Indian Novel' and Derek Walcott's 'Omeros' through frameworks of cultural hybridity and queer theory. She explores how contemporary authors reshape classical forms to address postcolonial concerns.

Roy's interdisciplinary approach connects literary studies with performance theory, analyzing how epic narratives negotiate historical memory and national identity formations across diverse cultural contexts from the Caribbean to South Asia.
