Dr Ragini Mohite is Assistant Professor - Academic Writing at FLAME University.
I received my PhD in English Literature (2016) and MA in English Literature (2011) from the University of Leeds. I hold a BA (Hons) in English from the University of Mumbai.
Research:
My research interests lie primarily in global modernism, twentieth century literatures, transnationalism, poetry, and world literature.
My monograph Modern Writers, Transnational Literatures: Rabindranath Tagore and W. B. Yeats has been published by Clemson University Press in 2021. It offers a fresh critical, comparative perspective on the work of Rabindranath Tagore and W. B. Yeats from the beginning of the twentieth century, when their international influences take centre stage and their writings become increasingly significant to what is now understood as global modernism. This monograph has now been included in Liverpool University Press’ Irish Studies Online digital collection, which was launched in September 2021.
My article on the writings, archives, and sculpture of the British sculptor Henry Moore as part of avant-garde global modernism is forthcoming with Sculpture Journal. I am also working on several projects on, global modernism and the modernist canon, fantastical representations of the south Asian city, and digital audio archives.
