  • 1.  Seeking to collaborate on a panel proposal

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi,

    I am Rohini Chakraborty, a 5th-year PhD candidate at Arizona State University. The focus of my research is South Asian films (especially Bollywood), Gender studies, Genre studies(Horror and magic realism), and post-humanism. I am seeking to collaborate with someone interested in creating a film-centric panel. We could definitely deliberate on the kinds of films or the geographical focus we would like to zero in on. 

    My email address is rchakr25@asu.edu if you want to reach out and start a discussion.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Rohini,

    I am Xing Zhang, a fifth-year PhD candidate in Gender Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. I wonder if you are interested in creating a panel around gender, genre, and film. I just sent an email to you.

    Best,

    Xing

    Dear Ms Rohini 

    Thank you for your message and for reaching out regarding the proposed film-centric panel. Your research interests-particularly South Asian cinema, gender studies, horror, magical realism, and post-humanism-are both timely and intellectually engaging.

    I am pleased to share the longer abstract of my proposed paper titled " Screening the Enemy: Manufactured History, Islamophobic Narratives, and the Politics of Otherisation in Contemporary Hindi Cinema." I believe it aligns well with the broader theme of South Asian cinema and may complement the panel you are envisioning. Please find the abstract attached for your consideration.

    I would be happy to discuss the possibility of developing a cohesive panel around our shared interests and exploring additional contributors if needed. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

    With best regards,

    Baharul Islam
