About
I'm a legal and political anthropologist with research specializations in law and society; violence, war, and power; critical Indigenous studies and settler colonial studies; human rights and international justice; and militarization and impunity in South Asia. I have conducted field research on these themes in Kashmir, India, Northern Ireland, Cambodia, and Geneva.
I am a Critical Kashmir Studies scholar. My recent publications include the Palgrave Handbook of New Directions in Kashmir Studies (Palgrave 2023), The Routledge Handbook of Critical Kashmir Studies (Routledge 2022), and Resisting Occupation in Kashmir (U Penn Press 2018). I am a member of the Critical Kashmir Studies collective and an active member of the Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Advocacy Network (KSCAN). I presented expert testimony on Kashmir at the US congressional hearing of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in November 2019 as well as several briefings for the State Department, Congress, and UN Special Rapporteurs.
As Director of the OHIO Center for Law, Justice & Culture from 2013-2020, I oversaw the development, expansion and institutionalization of various undergraduate and graduate programs. In 2018, I founded OHIO’s MA in Law, Justice & Culture. Since 2013, I have directed the annual OHIO Study Abroad Program on Human Rights, Law & Justice in Northern Ireland with Larry Hayman. In 2024, I am running the OHIO Study Abroad Program on Law, Justice & Transitions to Democracy in South Africa with Larry Hayman.
I currently serve as the President of the Consortium of Undergraduate Law & Justice Programs (CULJP).

(De)Humanizing War: Artificial Intelligence Weapons and the Future of the Human
Ohio University OURC/Baker Grant: This project, carried out in collaboration with Mona Bhan (Anthropology, Syracuse University), investigates how artificial intelligence weapons systems are refiguring geopolitical alliances, modes of border and community surveillance, and conceptions of humanity, human rights, and accountability.

Terror Legalities: Law, Legitimacy, and Sovereignty in Kashmir
- Present
This book project examines transnational struggles over the legal constitution of terror in contemporary Kashmir. I argue that such contestations over what constitutes terror reveal the unsettled nature of law, legitimacy, and sovereignty within the context of counterinsurgency warfare, settler colonial occupation, and popular resistance in Kashmir.

Ohio University 1804 Grant: This project, carried out with Kathleen Sullivan (Political Science, Ohio University) provides co-curricular opportunities for CLJC undergraduate certificate students and the wider undergraduate community. The project funds a two-year workshop series that brings together undergraduate students, MA students, faculty, and alumni, in conjunction with a mentoring program between MA students and undergraduate students. The workshop series models for students the scholarly aspects of law & society studies and prepares students for law-related careers that do not require law school.
