As an interdisciplinary policy researcher, I am interested in the politics of policies (disasters, health, poverty) and their framing and implementation on the ground. My research focuses on Canada, one of the top economies, and South Asia, a dynamic but fragmented, resource-poor, culturally diverse region. I am currently part of a research collective (www.canada-asia-researchcollective.org), and I am applying rights-based approaches to human displacement and building Resilient Futures.
