Dr. Sushil Ghimire | Academic Portfolio

Scholarly Profile

I am a researcher and Professor of English committed to exploring how language, narrative structures, and cultural discourses shape human consciousness and social realities. My academic inquiry engages postcolonial theory, travel writing, nationalism, trauma studies, and the intersection of magical realism and the uncanny within contemporary literature.

As a PhD scholar with extensive experience in research writing (MLA & APA latest editions), I have presented papers at international conferences, including the 25th International MELOW Conference, and actively contribute to scholarly discourse on Western and Nepalese travel narratives. My work particularly examines identity formation, representation, and the politics of cultural gaze.

"Research, for me, is a dialogic engagement between text and theory—where each interpretive framework reveals new dimensions of meaning, power, and identity."
