      I am a sociologist based at Rutgers University in New Jersey. I write and teach about race, immigration, nonprofits, civic engagement, popular culture, and music.

       

      I earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California-Davis and am currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (New Jersey). I am also a research fellow at the International Migration Institute at the University of Amsterdam.

      Before coming to Rutgers, I was a Marie Curie post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford.

    • Scholarship

      My scholarship interrogates how ascriptive categories such as race, nationality, and religion, mediate inequalities and disparate lived experiences for immigrant-led nonprofit organizations in North America and Western Europe. I deploy distinct methodologies and comparative research designs to shed light on the significance of host society contexts of reception as well as bilateral relations between immigrants' places of origin and settlement. My past research includes a series of comparative analyses of the composition and stigmatization of Pakistani immigrant nonprofit sectors in London, Toronto, and New York City. In addition, I've examined the significance of bilateral ties and origin society contexts on the domestic and homeland-oriented political engagement of several immigrant communities residing in Western Europe.  While these two strands of my research rely on different data and methodologies, they converge in revealing the continued significance of ascriptive categories and cross-border linkages as they inform immigrant organizational spaces and their domestic as well as cross-border political activities.  

       

      My latest research considers the significance of ascriptive categories and ethnoracial inequality for the production and performance of music in the 20th and 21st centuries. I am developing a critical intersectionality approach to guide historical analyses of race and gendered boundary-making in the production of musical instruments. In addition, I am conducting new research on the uneven impacts and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on working musicians in the New York City Tri-State metropolitan region.
