I'm a cultural anthropologist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the State University of New York in Potsdam. My dissertation research and current book project center on the culture and activism of gender non-normative Pakistanis known as the khwaja sira (also khwajasara and hijra).

​

My areas of specialization include sexuality and gender, queer and transgender studies, identity and performance, activism and social movements, globalization and transnationalism, digital and biotechnologies, and Islam with a geographical focus on South Asia and its diaspora.
