I am a writer and ethnographer whose research focuses on the intersection of climate and longstanding structural inequalities. My doctoral dissertation in Anthropology at Stanford University examined the politics of atmospheric risk in the context of climate change in Bangladesh. Using ethnographic and archival methods, I examined how contemporary forecasters at the Bangladesh Meteorological Department and coastal farmers in southwest Bangladesh respond to changing environments.

I’m always eager to hear from researchers, artists, and curators about their work, and I mentor people of all ages and backgrounds who are considering graduate school in the social sciences and humanities — please don’t hesitate to reach out!
