My research and teaching interests center on popular media, nationalism, globalization, feminism, postcolonial theory, cultural theory, and modalities of difference such as race, caste, and gender. My book, Stories that Bind: Political Economy and Culture in New India (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, May, 2022), focuses on the intertwined projects of Hindu nationalism and neoliberalism in India and their narration in popular culture. https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/stories-that-bind/9781978828759
I have a PhD in Communication from the University of Washington, Seattle and a Master's in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Minnesota.
