Biography:
Mita Choudhury has taught at St. Lawrence University (Shakespeare),
New York University (theatre and performance studies), Emory University
(South Asian literature), and at the Georgia Institute of Technology
(gender and technology). She is author of Interculturalism and
Resistance in the London Theatre, 1660-1800: Identity, Performance,
Empire (2000) and co-editor of Monstrous Dreams of Reason:
Body, Self, and Other in the Enlightenment (2002)—both
of which are a part of the Bucknell Studies in Eighteenth Century
Literature and Culture series. She is also a contributing editor
of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature (2006).
Currently, she is working on two book-length projects: Universality,
Early Modernity, and the Contingencies of Representing Race

modern discourses of cultural difference) and Imperial Exuberance
and the Power of Posthumanism (an examination of the rhetorics
of nano, cyborg, and posthuman cultures).
