Biography
I am a doctoral student in the Sociocultural Anthropology program, where my research revolves around questions of multispecies captivity and human-animal relations in and beyond the Pacific Northwest. Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, my work was focused on the politics of climate change in Karachi, Pakistan, and I remain committed to the study and teaching of South Asian languages. You can find my writing in Anthropological Quarterly, South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies, as well as in a forthcoming volume from Vernon Press entitled Lost Kingdom: Animal Death in the Anthropocene.
A rural-to-urban migrant of Poarch (Creek) descent, I grew up in the swamps of south Georgia. I now live and work in Seattle, as a guest on the occupied homelands of Coast Salish peoples.
