Biography

A native to Chattogram, Panna Majumder joined the Department of English, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet in 2010. Majumder truly believes in the transformative power of knowledge which can only be generated through pure research and knowledge sharing in a knowledge-based society. He strongly believes that research findings are not to be made perfunctorily/performatively rather they are to be for execution on rigorous scrutiny of their relevance. An avid reader of the Early Modern Literature, his research interest covers both contemporary and interdisciplinary issues with much emphasis on critical theories. While conducting research as part of his teaching responsibility he wants to promote his Bengali literature through translations.
