My writing explores migration, religion, diaspora, and memory through both academic and public-facing forms. Across my work, I am interested in tracing the movement of Indian indenture from British Guiana to later Indo-Guyanese diasporic life in New York City, with attention to how communities preserve cultural memory, religious practice, and historical belonging across generations.
I aim to produce scholarship that is rigorous, accessible, and meaningful to the communities whose histories it engages. My writing includes peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, public essays, and digital projects that bridge archival research, oral history, and community-based knowledge.
