Sahana Balasubrramaniam

Sahana is a final year Literature major at Yale-NUS

College. She is particularly interested in indigenous knowledge

systems and the treatment of gender in literature, specifically

in mythology and the medieval ages. Sahana is passionate about

South Asian works and recently become more interested in learning

about the rich literary cultures in Latin America. Having taken

Spanish at Yale-NUS and having dabbled in translating texts (both

in her mother tongue Tamil and Spanish), she hopes to be able to

explore the cultural and literary similarities in indigenous oral

traditions and storytelling from both regions. She enjoys

dancing, taking long walks and indulging in a good cup of tea in

her free time.
