I am an Indian classical Odissi dance performer and an English Prof. My research interests mostly center at the intersections of cultural and digital rhetorics, and performance. My current research examines the use of technology as a tool of online and hybrid learning. This study helps us understand the relationship between traditional and online teaching, and the impact of mediation on pedagogic practices. I have also worked as a web content writer and a usability evaluator.
