About
Professor Pablo Mukherjee teaches on the English and Comparative Literary Studies program.
Research interests
I research and supervise in the following areas: Victorian to contemporary imperial/colonial and anti-imperial/colonial cultures; Postcolonial theory and literatures; Crime Fiction; Travel Writing; Environmental/Eco theory and literatures; Science Fiction; Comparative and World Literary Systems. Among my recently completed projects are a book on natural disasters and British imperial culture in the ninteenth-century (see list below for details) and also, along with my colleagues at the Warwick Research collective (WReC), a book called Combined and Uneven Development: Towards a New Theory of World-Literature. A small spin-off of this work has been a special issue of the Yearbook of English Studies on 'Victorian World Literatures' that I guest-edited. I am currently completing a book on the relationship between science policy and science fiction in postcolonial South Asia and working with my WReC colleagues on a volume of Keywords in World-Literary Studies.
