Ranjan Ghosh is an Indian academic and thinker who teaches at the Department of English, University of North Bengal, India.

[3][13] Ghosh's thinking on historiography and historical theory comes through in his book A Lover's Quarrel with the Past: Romance, Representation, Reading (2012).

His book Aesthetics, Politics, Pedagogy and Tagore: A Transcultural Philosophy of Education (2017) offers "a radical rethinking of Indian thinker Rabindranath Tagore, exploring how his philosophy of education relates to the ideas of Western theorists such as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Martin Buber, Derrida, Deleuze, and others".

Ghosh has also introduced new conceptual terms of readings in the critical humanities like 'trans(in)fusion approach' (his recent book is called Trans(in)fusion: Reflections for Critical Thinking from New York, 2020), 'trans-habit' in literary studies (his book Transcultural Poetics and the Concept of the Poet from New York, 2017), and very recently Plastic literature, Plastic Turn and others.

[16] Ghosh is currently the co-editor with Emelia Quinn of the English Association's journal Yearbook on Critical and Cultural Theory published by Oxford University Press.
