ABOUT

I am a Ph.D Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota. My research interests lie at the intersection of critical international relations, political violence, gender and sexuality, postcolonial studies and migration. I will be defending my dissertation “From War to Empire: Diasporic Journeys, Gender Politics and Theorizing Sexuality” in April 2019. I speak Farsi (Native), Pashto (Native ), Arabic (Advanced), Urdu (Fluent) and Hindi (Fluent).
