Happy to be part of this innovative collection of essays exploring the city of Calcutta/Kolkata through character sketches. Thanks to Atreyee Sen and @jsbradbury27 for putting it together! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

We’ve always aimed to reach as diverse an audience as possible. We’re delighted that the beautiful essay just penned by our editor @jsbradbury27 has made us go East in one great leap synaps.network/post/india-ben…

I am always amazed that the situation in Lebanon resonates with places so far away. My very talented colleague @jsbradbury27 shows how Kolkata struggles to retain its singularity in the midst of anti-refugee narratives and identity politics.

For @jsbradbury27 & Atreyee Sen's 'Calcutta Characters', DebanujDasGupta and I write about queer self-making. My 'character', a young queer feminist activist, has the best line, ever:
'If I want to use the term ‘gender-queer-heteronormative,’ then I have to do it in cotton'.

Next week, our brilliant editor @jsbradbury27 will take us on a different kind of journey
