My name is Payel Ray and I am from West Bengal, India. I have completed my master's degree in English in 2019 and am currently a PhD aspirant in the field of gender and sexuality studies under the department of English. I believe, teaching and research are interconnected in that one interfaces with the other, one creates interferences in the other. I see teaching as an opportunity to engage with younger minds that are fertile enough to bring new perspectives to the world. + more - less
