Professor Arun Kanti Jana obtained his MA, MPhil, and PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and he is currently working as a Professor in Political Science at the University of North Bengal, India. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES).
The topics in which he has pursued his research work have all come from his teaching interests. Thus teaching courses had always helped him in selecting the area or topic of his research. Teaching thus in one way shapes his research area. The generation of new knowledge in the subject and dissemination of knowledge has gone hand in hand with him. His modest research activities have helped him in traveling to distant places both in the country and abroad for attending and participating in seminars/conferences and for delivering special lectures etc.
