Anika Hoque

Reading for what's left unsaid.

I teach English Literature and spend my off-hours chasing the quieter questions in South Asian fiction โ€” whose voices get left out of a story, and why. Based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

About

I'm an English Literature graduate with a near-perfect academic record โ€” MA, CGPA 3.96 out of 4.00 โ€” and a career that's slowly building itself at the intersection of teaching, research, and storytelling. As a part-time lecturer at Uttara University, I spend my days helping undergraduates find their own reading of a text, and my evenings on questions that don't have tidy answers: how gender gets written into South Asian literature, what qualitative analysis can uncover that a quick read can't, and where curriculum design meets genuine curiosity.

I like literature that argues back. I'm also comfortable bringing digital tools into the classroom โ€” from LMS platforms to virtual classrooms โ€” when they actually help a lesson land rather than just modernizing it for the sake of it.
