My teaching interests include classical and contemporary sociological theory, with particular emphasis on structuralist and poststructuralist perspectives, modern and postmodern social thought, quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, gender and society, feminist theories, and the sociology of development. I enjoy helping students connect theoretical concepts with contemporary social issues and everyday life.
My research explores the intersections of gender, caste, class, sexuality, religion, and citizenship, with a focus on understanding how structures of power and inequality shape lived experiences. I am particularly interested in disability and sexuality, questions of rights, belonging, and social justice, and the ways in which identities are negotiated within changing social contexts. An emerging area of interest for me is the sociology of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, particularly how they are reshaping social relations, citizenship, inequality, and everyday life.
