 Ms. Nilakshi Moran is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Satyawati College (Evening), University of Delhi. Her research lies at the intersection of ecocriticism, environmental humanities, and postcolonial literary studies. She examines ecological imaginaries in literature, with particular attention to the conceptual framework of the Plantationocene in North-East India, contributing to contemporary debates in postcolonial environmental discourse. In addition to environmental literary criticism, she is engaged in collaborative international research on Indian languages, with an emerging focus on historical linguistics and language ecologies. Her work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, including "Postcolonial Negotiations through Select Poems of North-East India" in New Literaria (2019) and "Negotiating Displaced Identities and Trauma in the Novels of Michael Ondaatje" in Migration, Diaspora and Nation Building (2020). She has also contributed to translation projects linked to major cinematic works, reflecting her interdisciplinary interest in language, culture, and media.
