Ramathi is a PhD Candidate in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Her research interests lie at the intersection of early twentieth century British and Russian literature, war literature, literature and science, and the medical humanities. Her dissertation focuses on representations of illness in British and Russian wartime literary culture, 1914-1939. Her research on the relationship between depictions of illness in Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway has appeared in the Woolf Studies Annual (Vol 31). She has also been a writer for Synapsis: A Health Humanities Journal, where her writing included pieces on the depiction of medicine in Mikhail Bulgakov’s The White Guard and the literary representations of ethical dilemmas faced by doctors in the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Prior to coming to Columbia, Ramathi completed a BA at the University of Pennsylvania (2018), double majoring in Philosophy & Science and English, and an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science at The University of Cambridge (2019).
