Biography
I recently completed my PhD in comparative politics, and am now a Senior Teaching Fellow with the Department of Politics and International Studies. I specialize in South Asian politics. My current research focuses on the relationship of the judiciary and the military, and the impact of these unelected institutions on democratic outcomes.
