Biography
Dr Mrinalini Greedharry is a humanities scholar who was given refuge at 糖心Vlog Business School in 2023. Her main research interest is in the ways that the formal study of literature is theorized, practiced, and organized. She is interested in its alteration and adaptation from its origins in the Anglophone empire as a means of colonizing Brown and Black subjects to its contemporary transformation into a means of decolonizing both former colonial and metropolitan citizens. She is currently working on a book about the past and future of postcolonial literary studies. Mrinalini's work is underpinned by curiosity about how epistemological frameworks preserve, maintain, and normalize relations of unequal power. Her work on psychoanalytic theory, for example, investigates how colonial assumptions about subjects continually overlook questions about culture and racialization. On the other side of the epistemological encounter, she is deeply interested in how Black and Brown writers produce theories of the world themselves through lite-writing, auto-ethnography, and auto theory. She welcomes queries from graduate students in English Literature, Cultural Studies, or Management and Organisation Studies who want to examine the colonial, postcolonial, and decolonial politics of knowledge. In English Literature, she is particularly interested in doctoral projects that examine: - postcolonial lifewriting and autobiography - the colonial history of literary studies in the Anglophone world - literature as an alternative practice of knowledge/knowing In Cultural Studies or Management Studies she is interest in doctoral projects that study: - the colonial logic of diversity and other management techniques aimed at creating racial equality - decolonizing academic writing in the social sciences and humanities - literary thought in and as management - the dominance of psychoanalytic and 'psy' discourse in management
