I am an interdisciplinary researcher focusing on gender and reproductive (in)justices in the Global Souths (broadly understood). While I’m primarily a qualitative researcher, I engage with a number of methods including quantitative questionnaires, archival research, visual methodologies, co-production methods, and policy analysis.

Committed to interrogating manifestations of power across scales (i.e., micro, meso, & macro), my current research agenda consists of four interconnected strands:

(i) theorising safety and risk in abortion and reproduction,
(ii) reconceptualising self-managed abortion,
(iii) mapping pregnant peoples’ trajectories to abortion and reproductive health care, and
(iv) analysing population policies and related interventions as forms of reproductive governance.

You can read my published research here, and see what is in preparation here.

My doctoral research (LSE Department of Social Policy, 2019) was a multimethod study investigating women’s abortion-related trajectories to care in Karnataka, India. During my ESRC postdoctoral fellowship (2020-2021), I extended this work to co-produce visual abortion resources with an Indian non-profit organisation.

My research is deeply influenced by feminist thought and critique including reproductive justice. I understand research as a political process, and remain committed to making visible the multiple ways in which power operates and manifests not just within our areas of inquiry; but within knowledge production itself.
