Anjali Prabhu

My fields are literature, film, culture and theory and my writing has appeared in journals, books, and collections in the fields of postcolonial studies, African studies, philosophy/theory, and film studies. I frequently participate in scholarly conferences or give talks in these fields.

At Wellesley I have been a Fellow at the Newhouse Center for the Humanities and held the Whitehead Chair in Critical Thought. I have served on the advisory board of the Cinema and Media Studies program, teach in that program, and been involved in the Middle Eastern Studies program. Beyond Wellesley, I have been an active member in the Modern Language Association. I have served on the Committee for Academic Freedom and Professional Rights and Responsibilities; am currently on the Program Committee, and elected to the Delegate Assembly, and the Postcolonial Division Executive Committee.

I serve on the Editorial Boards of Research in African Literatures, The International Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy, and newly inaugurated Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry.
