Welcome! I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at Yale University.
I completed my Ph.D. in political science at Columbia University, and was previously a doctoral candidate fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C.
At Yale, I am a member of the South Asian Studies Council, and the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Council. I am also a member of the research team at the Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives in Lahore, Pakistan.
My research interests lie at the intersection of gender and comparative politics, with a regional specialization in South Asia. In my work, I study gender gaps in political preferences, patterns of preference expression, and the barriers to women’s political participation and representation. In another strand of research, I explore questions related to the prevention of violence against women.
