I am an incoming postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life (CITAP) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. My work draws from a Humanities-based framework to understand the relationship between technology and democracy and rethink digital infrastructure and platform design, particularly for marginalized communities in the Global South.
As an interdisciplinary scholar at the intersection of Critical Digital Studies, Gender Studies, and Social Justice, I investigate the role digital infrastructures play in centering vulnerable groups online. I study digital protest to examine how religious, gendered, and ethnic minorities employ social media platforms in the Indian context to create and perform their political identities and create safe spaces for their digital assembly. I also examine how these marginalized communities are targeted by state-sponsored digital hate campaigns that undermine democracy.
