Pavan Malreddy is a researcher at Goethe University Frankfurt who has published books on the war on terror and Brexit.

Malreddy was born and raised in South India and educated in Singapore, the Netherlands, and Canada. He now teaches in the English Department of Goethe University Frankfurt, where he specializes in 20th- and 21st-century comparative Anglophone literatures & cultures with a focus on East Asia, Africa, and South Asia. Malreddy investigates the topics of conflict, communal bonds, insurgency, populism, public life, and migrancy. His recent books include Narratives of the „War on Terror“ (2020) and „Writing Brexit“ (2022).
