Rose Bhaskar

Writer and editor of essays and long-form narrative content.

Rose Bhaskar spends her life as a writer, exploring how that calling operates within higher education, industry, and politics in a globalizing world.She is a researcher by training, holding two graduate degrees grounded in qualitative research and international practice. She continues education out of a constant curiosity about how the status quo came to be and whether it is permanent.As a freelance writer, she has worked across industries with small businesses, educational institutions, executives, and creatives who share a need to turn complicated material into clear, well-made writing. What interests Rose in any project is the chance to write a story that bridges perspectives and provokes thought. As a creative, she combines aesthetics with her lived experiences of decolonial feminism, queerness, and belonging.You can find Rose featured across several digital & print literary magazines, or explore Rose Writes Stuff, her Substack publication housing personal essays and political commentary. She is at work on a book-length project and is open to consultations.
