I am a feminist sociologist, currently based in the Republic of Ireland. In November 2022, I defended my PhD thesis titled ‘Break the Cage: Women's Body Politics of Respectability and Autonomy in India and Ireland’ under the supervision of Dr. Alice Feldman at the School of Sociology, University College Dublin. It involves an asymmetric comparative analysis of two movements - Pinjra Tod (right to mobility in India) and Repeal the Eighth (reproductive rights in Ireland). My wider research interests include body politics of autonomy, contemporary women's movements, reproductive justice, social and health policy.  

I am currently based at the Department of Sociology and Criminology, University College Cork (UCC). At UCC, I work as a Postdoctoral Scholar on an HEA funded project Women of the Borderlands: A Walking Biographical Study of Women’s Everyday Life on the UK/Irish Border under the mentorship of Dr. Theresa O'Keefe. 

In the past, I have collaborated with artist Eimear Walshe, on an Arts Council of Ireland, funded project to commemorate the legacies of Irish-Indian suffragette Margaret Cousins. Between July 2020 and April 2021, I worked as a Research Assistant on a World Health Organization funded project on Abortion Policy Implementation in Ireland. This project comprised of a multidisciplinary team of researchers and was led by Prof. Joanna Mishtal (University of Central Florida). This study is going to inform the ongoing Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act of 2018. I was also a co-organiser of Ireland’s first Working-Class Studies Conference in November 2021. I have worked as a Research Assistant on an Irish Research Council funded project titled Negotiating Difference on a Shared Island: Agonism, Commonality or Critical Constitutionalism, led by Prof. Jennifer Todd (UCD).
