Naveen John Panicker (naveenew007@gmail.com) has recently completed his M.Phil from the Department of English, University of Delhi, India. His dissertation briefly examines narratives of mental illness and suicide ideation, specifically contemporary (western) memoirs, in an attempt to examine the nature and function of such forms of (self) narrativizing. His research concerns broadly fall under the larger field of medical humanities and extend into certain philosophical questions about the nature of human agency, self, and identity. He currently teaches at the Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board, University of Delhi.
