Public Scholarship

As a scholar of the political economy of development, I have been committed to disseminating my research to multiple stakeholders. During my fieldwork in Pakistan, I have remained an Affiliate with Pakistan’s Consortium for Development Policy Research. I have also presented my research at the Lahore University of Management Sciences, and shared insights from an article I wrote for the Monkey Cage in a podcast with the Center of Economic Research in Pakistan.

I am an APSA Public Scholar for the AY 2022-23. My featured blogposts at Political Science Now are listed below.
