I hold an MA with Distinction in Political Thought (2021 - 22) from the University of Exeter, and BSc (Hons) with Distinction in Social Development and Policy (2017 - 21) with a focus on postcolonial and feminist IR from Habib University, Karachi.

My doctoral research is on narrative agency in Kurdish diasporic films.

My broader interests include: borders and territoriality; nationalisms; colonialism and postcolonial theory; the work of Michel Foucault and other continental philosophy (Jacques Ranciere, Giorgio Agamben).

Teaching

For the 2025/26 academic year, I am a seminar tutor on PO131 World Politics.
