Abhija Ghosh has a PhD in Cinema Studies from the School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her doctoral research focused on how the rise of the audio cassette industry shaped the imagination and production of 1990s romances in Bombay cinema, courting debates on modernity, censorship, sexuality and nation making in the public sphere. Her research interests include film history, media industries, sound and music technologies, early cinema and Indian popular cinemas. Her essays are published in ‘Bad’ Women of Bombay Films: Studies in Desire and Anxiety (2020) and Music, Modernity and Publicness in India (2020), Introduction to Film Studies (2022), and Bioscope: South Asian Screen Studies. She has received the Charles Wallace Short Research grant (2012) and Sarai Social Media Fellowship (2015) for her research on celluloid and digital cinephilia. She was a Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Fellow (2017-2018) at the Center for Media, Culture and History, Department of Anthropology, New York University, New York.
