Subarna De
Lecturer in Anglophone Cultures
School of Humanities
Introduction
Subarna De is a Lecturer in Anglophone Cultures at the School of Humanities, Tallinn University. She is also the Book Reviews Editor of Plant Perspectives, published by The White Horse Press, UK. Her research examines the transformations of environment and society, with a particular focus on bioregionalism and indigeneity from post/decolonial perspectives. Situated at the crossroads of Anglophone literary studies, human geography, cultural anthropology, environmental history, and ethnography, her interdisciplinary research brings together insights from environmental humanities, political ecology, Indigenous studies, post/decolonial studies, heritage studies, tourism geographies, food studies, and plant humanities to explore how we understand, inhabit, and reimagine place. She teaches courses on the societies, cultures, and literatures of the wider Anglophone world, with particular attention to culture, identity, place, empire, and nature–culture relationships.
