I study quotidian material cultures in South Asia through a decolonial and queer new materialist lens, focusing on critical futurities. My interdisciplinary research bridges critical/cultural studies, science and technology studies, and feminist media studies, exploring the knowledge practices and ways of being animated from material cultures that offer alternatives to survive in a global ecological poly-crisis. In my teaching, I have experience instructing public speaking and writing-intensive courses, as well as serving as a TA for foundational theoretical classes. I enjoy helping students from diverse disciplines connect their academic interests to their lived realities, with a focus on media literacy, rhetoric, and the intersection of media and culture.
