Her publications include a critical edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; a co-edited volume on Buddhist philosophy, Pramana: Dharmakirti and the Indian Philosophical Debate (Manohar, 2010); a translation with critical introduction of selections from Rahul Sankrityayan’s Baisvin Sadi for The Gollancz Book of South Asian Science Fiction, ed. Tarun Saint (2019); and a chapter on Sankrityayan and Ambedkar’s engagements with Buddha and Marx in India and Civilizational Futures: Papers from The Backwaters Collective on Metaphysics and Politics, ed. Vinay Lal (2019).
