Gaurav Majumdar received his B.A. from the University of Delhi (1992), M.A. from the University of Rochester (1993), and Ph.D. from New York University (2003). He taught at universities in New York and Connecticut before coming to Whitman College.
Gaurav's teaching interests include modern British and postcolonial literatures, film, and Victorian literature. He is particularly interested in the modern novel, revisions of cosmopolitanism in literary studies, and figuration.
Gaurav's current research concentrates on the relations of British and postcolonial literatures in English with cosmopolitanism in the twentieth century. He has published articles on James Joyce and Howard Hawks, as well as several book reviews. His recently-completed book manuscript is on postcolonial aesthetics and seriality in the works of James Joyce, Salman Rushdie, and the Indian filmmaker, Satyajit Ray.
