Research Interests
I am presently studying the work of materiality—things and objects—in the making, authorising, and perpetuating of 'Indian-ness' in Singapore.
Previously, I worked on memory, memorialisation, cartographies, and territorial imaginations of Punjab and the Sikh tradition.
Across my work, I seek to think with the more-than-human, the hidden/silenced archives, and the knowledges our bodies carry.
