    My primary research interests lie in the mediation of subject formation in social life as well as in theory. I have cultivated an interdisciplinary perspective which crosses the disciplines of anthropology, philosophy, sociology and psychology. My research foci, broadly, lies in embodiment: its experience, discursive formation, institutional mediations and theoretical configurations. More specifically, I am interested in the production of knowledge, gender, race, disability, citizenship and visual culture.

    For my PhD research, I am exploring disability from a decolonial feminist perspective.

    Called to Song, my debut novel, was published in 2018.
