SREYA ANN OOMMEN

Sreya Ann Oommen is an Environmental Humanities scholar whose research focuses on Island Literary Studies, Critical Ocean Studies, Decolonial Studies, and Sustainability Studies. Oommen's doctoral work problematized the perception of islands in the Anthropocene within pre-established frameworks that restrict the authentic representation of the historical, social, and cultural reality of island communities. Her Island Studies Research examines the definitions of islands, islandness, and placeness to conceptualize the analyses of literary texts within Island Studies. Oommen's current research also includes energy humanities, environmental justice, and community benefits planning. She has also published articles on Anglo-Indian Studies, Human Rights Literature, and Ecocriticism.
