I defended my PhD at the Faculty of Information, with a collaborative specialization at the Centre for South Asian Studies at the Munk School. The dissertation, Remixing Devotion: Digital Media Practices in Pakistan, follows naat and Islamic sermon media through home studios, repair markets, broadcast control rooms, and WhatsApp chains. Conferral is October 2026.
I am turning chapters into journal articles, drafting a book proposal, and teaching at UTM ICCIT. A forthcoming chapter in Mobile Media and Communication looks at how WhatsApp moves not just media but rules and resources through Pakistan's devotional media ecologies.
Recent recognition: Chancellor Jackman Graduate Fellow, Margaret Higgins Memorial Fellow, Amilcare Iannucci Graduate Fellow in the Humanities, and SSHRC Doctoral Scholar.
