Staff profile

I received my BA degree from Durham University (2017-2021). I was then awarded an ESRC PhD scholarship (2021-2025). This included a one year MA in Research methods which I obtained with distinction. I then formally commenced my PhD. I spent the 2023-24 academic year conducting fieldwork  in South Asia.

I have taught undergraduate level seminars since 2021 across 3 departments at the university. I hold Associate Fellowship of the higher education academy (AFHEA) since 2023.
