About

As a critical race scholar, I have been working with and writing about the unheard voices of minoritized communities, including immigrants, refugees, temporary migrant workers, and 2SLGBTQ+ people in Canada and internationally. In the context of global displacement, I am more interested in understanding how biopolitical and necropolitical spaces within the borders of the nation-states govern people and how the state’s sovereign power becomes a persistent recurrence of the process of exclusion and disposition of people in light of today’s urgent issues (e.g., humanitarian crisis, the rise of populism, homonationalist practices). My recent scholarly inquiries are focused on the South Asian diaspora (specifically the Nepali Diaspora) in Canada.
