The primary research interest of Mohd. Ahmar Alvi lies in the interface of literature and food studies with a special focus on the ways literary representations of victuals and gastronomics insinuate dialectics of resistance, human complexity, repressed desires, power struggles, the vindication of the marginalized, indefensibility of human experience, social positioning and dislocation, and sexual and body politics. He also takes an interest in Dalit studies, queer studies, cultural studies, and contemporary critical theory . He has been awarded grants to present papers at international conferences, "Anthropology of Fear" at European University, St. Petersburg, Russia , and “The 20th ETMU
Days Conference: Structures of Power and Oppression” at the University of Jyvaskyla, Jyvaskyla, Finland in 2019 and 2023 respectively. He has also been awarded scholarships to attend online courses “Critical Thinking in Language Learning and Teaching” at the University of Oregon (USA) and “TESOL” at the University of Maryland (USA).
