Pratiti is a doctoral student in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. Their work lies in the interaction of Bengali migration, Global Asias and sound studies, and they examine how music creates community in bengali diasporas. They are a minor in RIDGS and Early Modern Studies, with their interest lying also in disability studies and early modern music cultures. They are the lead convenor of the Global Asias Collaborative.
They graduated with an MA in Asian Studies at the University of California at Berkeley with an emphasis on South Asia. Their MA thesis looked at the bizarre in the Calcutta narrative through a comparative lens between Hindi, Bengali and English. I also study comics in Bengal and particularly the impact of the French comic series, Tintin, in Calcutta. Their other interests lie in science and technology studies and urban humanities. They also have Graduate Certificates in New Media and Urban Humanities from the University of California, Berkeley.
