Dr. Ajitpaul Mangat is an Assistant Professor of English at Niagara University. His teaching and research focus on disability and race in contemporary American literature and art.

He is the co-editor of an upcoming special issue of the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies that offers a reassessment of David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder’s concept of “narrative prosthesis.” He is also presently a contributor-in-residence for Synapsis: A Health Humanities Journal, where he publishes criticism at the intersection of medicine and culture.
