Areas of Research Interest
My ethnographic focus rests on understanding the lives of Muslim women beyond Islamic schooling in India. Moving outside the literature on ethics and piety in the anthropology of Islam, my main theoretical interests lie in exploring issues of temporality, reciprocity, subjectivity whilst delving into the lives of girls in their intimate home sphere and neighbourhood.
Areas of General Interest/Beyond South Asia
I am interested in advocacy, activism, governance and policymaking in the Middle East
