Arundhati Ghosh received her B.A. in Modern European Languages, Literatures and Culture Studies from Visva-Bharati University (Santiniketan), specializing in French. She further received an M.A. and an M.Phil. in French and Francophone Studies from Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi). Her Master's dissertation focused on a comparative study of Dani Kouyaté's Keïta! L'héritage du griot and Satyajit Ray's Agantuk. Motivated by a desire to expand her research capabilities, she focused on Antonin Artaud's theatre and cinema of cruelty for her M.Phil, which allowed her to explore the vast opportunity that lies embedded in an Artaudian investigation of 21st century films. Being a film aficionado, she is interested in multilingual, interdisciplinary, semiotic, comparative and transmedial research alongside her broader interest in Francophone film studies and Francophone literature of the Indian Ocean.
In addition to her research endeavors, she also has a keen interest in teaching and mentoring students. She has served as a remedial teaching assistant, guiding undergraduate students in their coursework during her M.Phil. Prior to joining Northwestern as a graduate student, she also worked as an English language assistant for Academy of Paris, where she taught across three schools, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment for the students.
