About
Rueshan Mishkat is a Research Scholar in English Literature at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, where her academic work explores the intersections of occult symbolism in ancient religions and its persistent echoes in contemporary popular culture. Her research is grounded in a broader interest in mythology, power structures, and marginalized narratives — building on her M. Phil. Thesis examining caste and class dynamics during the Partition.Beyond academia, Rueshan is a writer of introspective prose and poetry, which she shares on her personal blog Cat on the Keyboard. Her writing weaves themes of love, memory, identity, and the metaphysical into pieces that resonate with emotional depth and intellectual curiosity.With a professional background that spans teaching, curriculum design, and NGO work, Rueshan brings a rare combination of rigour and empathy to every space she enters. Her work — both scholarly and creative — aims to bridge the esoteric and the everyday, the forgotten and the lived.
