Dr. Dibyadyuti Roy came to Indian Institute of Management Indore by way of West Virginia University, where he earned a doctorate for his dissertation entitled “Radioactive Masculinity: How the Anxious Postcolonial Learnt to Love and Live in Fear of the Nuclear Bomb.” He completed his postgraduate degree (Master of Letters) in Modern Literature, Theory and Culture, with Distinction, from the University of Glasgow and his undergraduate degree in English with First Class Honors from Presidency College, Kolkata. He has current and forthcoming publications on varied fields ranging from Video Game Studies to British Theatre.

Dr. Roy has taught a wide variety of classes in business and professional communication, writing and composition, as well as introductory and advanced literature. Across institutions, both his scholarship and teaching have been honoured with numerous awards. In addition, he has collaborated with fellow scholars to secure grants and worked on several international research projects including the Textualities in Context initiative with Université Paris 8 and the British Council-UKERI funded tri-continental project on Computer Gaming across Cultures.

Research Interests:

Dr. Roy’s public-facing interdisciplinary scholarship is wide-ranging: from Critical Communication & Media Studies to Postcolonial Digital Humanities, with a core interest in recovering minority subjectivities in the Global South through reciprocal dialogue between business professionals and cultural policy makers. He is also the co-founder of the Digital Humanities Alliance of India (now renamed to Digital Humanities Alliance for Research and Teaching Innovations)

Dr. Roy has extensive experience in teaching Business and Technical Communication across three continents. He looks forward to offering workshops, MDPs and training modules on topics such as “Digital and New Media Communication,” “Civic and Grant Writing,” “Research Techniques in Digital Humanities” and “Business Writing for the 21st Century.”

Consultancy Interests:

Dr. Roy has particular interests in consulting for government, corporate and non-governmental domains on issues relating to organizational cultures and their communicative practices as well as official policy on cultural heritage and memory. He is particularly interested in social inclusion-related projects that require the adoption of communication-friendly perspectives like public argument, discourse analysis, and rhetorical criticism.
