I was a guest lecturer on the undergraduate module EN122 Modes of Reading in February 2024 at the University of Warwick.

Recently I taught on the undergraduate module EN123 Modern World Literatures (2022-2023). I have previously taught on EN101 Epic into Novel in 2021-2022 at Warwick as a Senior Graduate Teaching Assistant. I am also an Assistant Professor (on study leave) in the Department of English, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
