Anwita Ghosh is a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech. She earned her Ph.D. in English from Fordham University in 2025, following a B.A. from the University of Calcutta and an M.A. and M.Phil. from Jadavpur University. At Fordham, she held the Higher Education Leadership Fellowship, Senior Teaching Fellowship, and Alumni Dissertation Fellowship, and directed the Rose Hill Writing Center. Her research focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century anglophone modernisms, kinship studies, and writing pedagogy. Her dissertation examines how modernist fiction reimagines kinship as contingent, non-normative attachments forged through proximity, risk, and shared precarity, analyzing works by E.M. Forster, Rabindranath Tagore, Nella Larsen, Jean Rhys, and Claude McKay.
