I am an incoming Lecturer (Media and Communications) at Monash University Malaysia. My doctoral research was a media policy ethnography in South Asia, subsequently published as a book with Palgrave Macmillan, Singapore, in 2020. My research interests lie in South Asian studies, media and communication governance, international development, media anthropology, and Southern and decolonial theories and methodologies.
