Deepti Sharma holds an MPhil in Latin American Studies from Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi. She has around 3.5 years of teaching experience, which includes her association with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi and Delhi University, as Assistant Professor in Literary Studies. Currently, she is pursuing her PhD in Psychology at Ambedkar University, Delhi, where she is using psychoanalysis to look at the question of ‘unconscious’ in revolutionary groups in India and Soviet Russia.

She is reading Freud and Lacan closely to unearth the repressed and renunciate subject of revolution (the revolutionary), who is fashioned in such a way that they ends up mirroring what they seek to dismantle (capital). She is at the moment deeply immersed in the memoirs of Russian revolutionaries like Victor Serge, to recover their ‘pastless pasts’.

Deepti Sharma’s area of research interests lies broadly at the intersection of Psychoanalysis, Literature and Politics. 

Deepti Sharma’s area of teaching interests includes African Literature, Communication Skills, Fluency in English, Foundation courses for FYUP (DU), Popular Literature, Latin American Literature, Technical Communication and Women’s Writing.
