Background

About Peer Jan Umar

Lecturer | Writer | Poet | Researcher | Mini Philosopher I'm a Lecturer in English Literature, and Philosophy with a deep commitment to critical pedagogy, intellectual inquiry, and creative expression. With years of interdisciplinary teaching experience ranging from Literature to Philosophy, I foster transformative learning experiences that bridge logic, literature, and life. As a writer and poet,(yet not published) my works critique the unspoken tensions of existence, identity, and culture. My creative voice is shaped by philosophical depth, existential thought, and an acute awareness of social realities. I believe literature has the power to liberate, and my pen always leans toward truth, resistance, and self-reflection. My research interrogates the structures of thought, trends of culture, and the dialectics of existence. Currently, my academic work focuses on Postmodern Literature, and Existential Philosophy, blending the insights of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre. Whether teaching in classrooms, presenting research, writing essays, or composing verses, I remain a seeker of meaning in a world full of noise and chaos! Research Interests: Postcolonial Studies, Postmodern Literature, Continental Philosophy, Critical Theories & Pedagogy
