Tanya’s favorite celebrity is Cillian Murphy, and she is especially fascinated by his acting prowess, nuanced approach to every role, and how he maintains his public image. When not chasing a fresh theoretical perspective, she can be found pouring over a book or writing poetry to make sense of the postmodern world. She also loves clicking aesthetic pictures, which form part of her "Book Nirvana" collection.
