Prof. Nandita Roy

Dr. Nandita Roy teaches communication at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta. She received her Ph.D. in English Literature from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Her research is multidisciplinary, at the intersection of philosophy, gender studies, technology, storytelling and new media, with special emphasis on video games. Her academic training in qualitative research methods in humanities and new media and her experience in the media and communications industry informs her understanding of philosophy, ethics, gender and media. She seeks to understand how these intersecting areas can help create a more diverse, inclusive, ethical business environment. Dr. Roy’s teaching philosophy is to teach her students a sense of inquisitiveness and joy in learning. Through inclusive critical pedagogy using elements of game-based learning, she seeks to contextualize theoretical ideas for application in business contexts, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice. She has previously worked at IIM Lucknow and National Geographic Channel, India.
