ABOUT

I am Assistant Professor of Global Studies at Thomas Jefferson University, East Falls. My research interests lie at the intersection of critical international relations, political violence, gender and sexuality, postcolonial studies and migration. My current research is an de-colonial ethnographic study of Muslim diaspora in the US where I study the impact of the War on Terror on Muslim masculinities and the everyday politics of queer and trans Muslims. I speak Farsi (Native), Pashto (Native ), Arabic (Advanced), Urdu (Fluent) and Hindi (Fluent).
