serious potential for academic discussion. His PhD thesis, titled “Between Egyptology and ‘Egyptomania’: Ancient Egypt in
Selected Western Novels and Films, 1990 to 2020” was completed in 2022,
in the Department of English, Jadavpur University. Ray sketches during his
spare time, and tries to find time for reading science fiction. Ray intends to
study and write on masculinities and connect the subject with the visual arts.
