I am an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of New Brunswick. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Toronto. During 2019-2021, I was a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Global Development Studies at Queen’s University. My scholarly research, broadly speaking, focuses on resource politics, environmental governance, energy and climate politics, and social movements/contentious politics in South Asia (with an empirical focus on Bangladesh).
