I am a historical anthropologist and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. For the 2024-25 academic year, I will be in residence at Princeton University as a Fung Global Fellow. I am also a founding editor of Jamhoor, a Left magazine on South Asia.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate at Yale University, and completed my graduate training from the University of Toronto and the University of Oxford. 

My research interests include critical political economy, decolonization, and revolutionary theory, with a focus on South Asia.

Currently, I am writing a book, Theory from the Trenches, that tells the story of peasants in Pakistan who became revolutionary actors and theorists, struggling not just to remake the country but joining others across continents to remake the world.

My research has 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.
