Namrata Dey Roy

Namrata Dey Roy is a Visiting Lecturer in the Writing and Communication Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research and teaching broadly engage Global Anglophone and postcolonial studies, with a particular focus on linguistic politics, multilingualism, diaspora, and the ethics of representation in African and South Asian literatures. Her scholarship examines how marginalized voices negotiate language, identity, trauma, and cultural belonging within postcolonial and transnational contexts, and how literary and cultural texts challenge dominant frameworks of power. She is the author of peer-reviewed work published in English in Africa and Safundi, and she is currently developing her monograph project on multilingual articulation and postcolonial voice. Her recent and forthcoming publications include “Displaced Families: Memory, Trauma, and the Limits of Kinship in Diasporic Writing” (accepted for Agenda, special issue on Gendered Narratives, May 2026), “Overcoming the Binaries of the Apartheid's Legacy” (with Dr. Renée Schatteman, accepted in Ecofeminism and World Literature, Bloomsbury Press), and “Halde Golap: A Socio-historical Narrative of the Transgender Voices of Bengal” (with Palash Naskar, accepted in Indian Transgender Literature, Routledge). Through her interdisciplinary scholarship and pedagogical work, she remains committed to advancing critical conversations on language, power, and social justice in global literary studies.
