PhD Student
South Asia
I am a PhD student in the Department of History with a Designated Emphasis in the Study of Religion. I specialize in the history of early modern South Asia (1550-1800), and for my doctoral research I focus on Islam and Islamic life in the city of Lahore in the 17th and 18th centuries.
More broadly, I am interested in the history of inter-religious interactions, the relationship between religion and the state, and in questions of language and identity in early modern South Asia.
Before coming to Berkeley, I completed a BA at Columbia University and a Masters at the University of Oxford.
