I am a historical anthropologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. I am also a founding member of Jamhoor, a movement-oriented Left magazine on South Asia and its diasporas.

I have held fellowships at Princeton and Yale, and completed my graduate training at the University of Toronto and the University of Oxford. 

My research and teaching focuses on critical and revolutionary theory, decolonization, and political economy, especially in South Asia and the global South.

My first book, Theory from the Trenches (under contract with Duke University Press), explores how subaltern actors — specifically peasants in Pakistan — creatively reinvented revolutionary theory in pursuit of a worldly, even other-worldly, liberation.

My research has also been published in journals like Cultural Anthropology and Comparative Studies in Society and History, while my public writing has appeared in venues like The Guardian and Boston Review.
