Broadly, my scholarship interrogates the convergence of racial, gendered, and religious embodiment, with migration and policing under violent conditions of imperial and domestic security technologies. I am currently at work on my first book, “Militant Bodies: Violence and Visual Culture Under Islamophobia,” which is rooted in questions that center post-9/11 racial and religious hyper-policing of Muslims and Sikhs, especially as they relate to bodily comportment and the donning of religious garments. Additionally, I am beginning research on a second book project, “Whose Terror? Vexed Attachments and the Contradictions of Freedom” theorizing contemporary terror as a vexed political and affective attachment through an intersectional feminist lens.
