I am a historian of Islam, class, and gender in modern South Asia. I received my PhD from the Department of South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 2017 and a Master's degree in Asian Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2009.
Before joining 缅北禁地 I worked as a research fellow at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (Virginia, USA).
I grew up in Bombay, India, where I finished my undergraduate degree in Microbiology. Before turning to humanities and academia I worked as a journalist in Bombay for seven years.
