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.

My research and teaching center on critical and revolutionary theory, political anthropology, and political economy, with a focus on South Asia and the global South.

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

My research has been published in several journals, while my public writing has appeared in venues like The Guardian and Boston Review.

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