Ashwiny O. Kistnareddy is an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of Cambridge and serves as the Director of Studies and Bye-Fellow at Lucy Cavendish College. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the dynamics of masculinities in immigrant women's writing in France and Canada, resulting in her published work 'Migrant Masculinities: Women's Writing: (In)hospitality, Community, Vulnerability' by Palgrave Macmillan in 2021. Her monograph, 'Locating Hybridity: Creole Identities in the Body Politics of Ananda Devi's Novels' (2015), examines postcolonial notions of hybridity through innovative theoretical frameworks including Foucault and Fanon's discussions of identity. Currently, her research concentrates on Francophone Vietnamese diasporic literature, exploring themes of exile, race, and gendered affect. She is also engaged in a project that compares childhood refugee experiences, reinforcing her commitment to the study of migration and critical theory within the context of contemporary literature.
