About
Anindita Basu Sempere studies change of place and poetics in twentieth-century American literature. She completed her PhD at the Université de Neuchâtel in December 2022. Her dissertation, titled “Mysterious Geography: Elizabeth Bishop and the Mediations of Place,” comprises a case study of Elizabeth Bishop’s move to Brazil and an analysis of how she mediated this change through writing. Anindita combines a digital humanities approach with genetic criticism, using deep maps to follow Bishop’s manuscript development spatio-temporally and then studying the texts themselves.
Prior to joining the Institute of English Studies at UniNE, Anindita co-founded The Writing Faculty, an online tutoring company focused exclusively on teaching writing, where she was also the Executive Director. She was the Director of Education of a boutique tutoring company in the United States, and a founding faculty member of a charter school in Cambridge, MA. Mastodon Feed

The Native Bound Unbound team describes the project as follows: “Native Bound Unbound is a digital initiative that recovers and connects every documented instance of Indigenous slavery across the Americas—through archival documents, art, artifacts, and architecture. The project seeks to illuminate where it took place, when it occurred, whom it impacted, and the profound meaning embedded in its legacy for both Indigenous communities and the descendants of the enslaved.” (2025-10-31 ↗)
