SRUTHI SASIDHARAN T V

To serve as a Guest Lecturer in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Hyderabad, bringing my interdisciplinary training and research experience within the discipline of Comparative Literature. My objective is to engage students with literatures across cultures, languages, and histories, foregrounding comparative methodologies that interrogate hierarchies, embrace pluralities, and deepen our understanding of narrative forms. Committed to the core values of the discipline, I aim to foster a pedagogical space that is critically reflective, ethically grounded, and intellectually expansive.
