About Me

I am Siddarth B Mahajan, an educator and researcher in English Literature and Cultural Studies based in Vijayapura, Karnataka. I currently serve as Guest Faculty in the Department of Studies in English at the Dr. P.G. Halakatti Post Graduate Centre, Vijayapura (Kitturu Rani Channamma University, Belagavi), where I teach Master of Arts (M.A.) courses in American Literature, Gender Studies, and Comparative Literature.

My academic foundation was built at Kristu Jayanti College and Christ (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru. My research examines posthumanism, critical theory, cultural studies, and contemporary literature, focusing on how literary and cultural texts navigate technology, bodily autonomy, and evolving human identities.

Beyond literary theory, I am an active music producer, treating sound design and scholarship as complementary forms of creative and critical expression. As an educator with visual impairment, I am dedicated to advancing digital accessibility, inclusive pedagogy, and equitable knowledge production. My lived experience actively informs my teaching methodology and my approach to universal design in education.
