PhD Candidate & 2022-23 Concordia University Public Scholar, Concordia University

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Religions and Cultures at Concordia, and 2022-23 Concordia University Public Scholar. I also hold a Master of Arts and a Master of Philosophy in history from the University of Karachi, Pakistan. My research is interdisciplinary and combines ethnography and social media platform analysis to question why women choose to live in religious communities and adopt visibly religious identities.

My study participants belong to the Dawoodi Bohras, a small Islamic community, of which I myself am a member. My doctoral research is funded by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Société et Culture and Concordia.

I have teaching and research experience and also experience working with museums for research and design.
