She completed her Ph.D. in History from Temple University. Her research focuses on twentieth-century South Asia with interest in the intersections between Indian nationalism and internationalism. Her current book project, Comrades against Imperialism, situates the anti-colonial nationalist politics of Jawaharlal Nehru in relation to the international anti-imperialist mobilizations and networks of the late colonial and interwar period. Research for this project has been funded by the U.S. Fulbright and the Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy (Philadelphia, PA). She is the author of a book chapter in The Internationalist Moment: South Asia, Worlds and Worldviews (Sage, 2014) and articles that appear in Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East (2013), Third Frame: Literature, Culture and Society (2009), and Education about Asia (2007).
