Mantra Mukim is Marie Skłodowska Curie Co-Fund Fellow (EUTOPIA-SIF) at CYU Paris and VUB Brussels. His research interests include global modernism, critical theory, twentieth century Hindi literature, decolonial studies, continental philosophy, and the lyric. As an Early Career Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies, University of Warwick (2022-23), his research focused on the Hindi poet Muktibodh, the long poem form, and modernist archives in the Indian subcontinent, something his new postdoctoral project builds upon.
