Amit Ray received his Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His areas of specialization are literary and cultural theory, colonial and postcolonial literatures and cultures, and cultural globalization. Awarded the Paul and Francena Miller Fellowship by RIT for the 2005-06 academic year, Professor Ray has recently completed his book--Negotiating the Modern: Orientalism and Indianness in the Anglophone World--for Routledge, USA.
Dr. Ray has been conducting research on wikis, authorship and authority since 2004. He has presented work on the cultural impact of wikis on the production and dissemination of knowledge, as well as on the pedagogical potential of wikis in the classroom. In addition, he has been working with a group of students and faculty from around the Institute to develop an online publication that queries the intersection between technology, aesthetics and culture: condu.it.rit.edu will be debuting in 2006.
