My work has examined the role of extreme heat as a social, political, and ecological actor in modern South Asia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my research explored the politics of empathy and captivity at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo.
You can find my writing in Anthropological Quarterly, South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies, as well as in an edited volume from Vernon Press entitled Lost Kingdom: Animal Death in the Anthropocene.
I live and work in Seattle as a guest on the occupied homelands of Coast Salish peoples.
