Profile

Dr. Minna Ann Andrews
Dr. Minna Ann Andrews is a linguist and educator with a deep-seated passion for the linguistic sense of things — the intuitive, contextual, and cultural layers embedded in language. With over a decade of teaching experience across prestigious institutions in India — including the Indian Naval Academy, Mar Athanasius College, and Sacred Heart College — she brings a rare blend of academic insight and real-world communication expertise to the classroom.

Her doctoral research in English Language Teaching from PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, reflects her commitment to advancing language pedagogy in culturally responsive and student-centered ways. An alumna of Madras Christian College, PSG College, and Government Victoria College, Palakkad, Dr. Andrews is also a certified technical writer from Cognizant Technology Solutions, Chennai.

Dr. Andrews currently serves as Faculty at the SH School of Communication, Sacred Heart College (Autonomous), Thevara, where she also coordinates the Research Cell. Her teaching interests lie at the intersection of literature, translation, and academic writing, with a growing focus on AI-informed pedagogy. She mentors student research, curates academic festivals, and regularly serves as a resource person for faculty development programmes, civil service coaching, and inclusive education initiatives — particularly in the domains of gender and communication.

Her academic interests extend to questions of gender, power, and representation in literary and media discourses. She has co-authored research on Muslim women’s agency in Malabar’s literary landscape and the aesthetics of visual culture in cinema and literature. As both a theorist and a practitioner, she is committed to equipping students with the tools to critically engage with the world through language and storytelling.
