Souvik Mukherjee Research website My main research interests are videogame and boardgame studies, digital humanities and postcolonialism. I am also interested in early modern English literature and broadly, cultural studies. This website provides an indicative overview of my monographs, publications and research projects.

My research website is up online. souvikmukherjeeresearch.com

Indian Boardgames, Colonial Avatars How did an Indian game meant to teach the process of rebirth change into the children’s race-game, Snakes and Ladders? Why does the Bengali language use Dutch loan-words for the suits of cards? ...

And the book is out! Thank you Milinda Banerjee and your coeditors Simon Yarrow and Julia Schneider for publishing my monograph in their Transregional Practices of Power series.
