Faculty Member, Politics And International Studies
Lecturer in Politics
School of Oriental & African Studies
About
I studied law at the National Law School of India University (Bangalore), and international relations at the University of Oxford. I am currently a Lecturer in Politics at the School of Oriental & African Studies (University of London). I teach courses in International Security, Comparative Political Thought, and Queer Politics.
My book, Third World Protest: between home and the world (Oxford University Press, 2010), explores the relationship between cosmopolitanism and nationalism in postcolonial protest.
Current research projects include: (i) Provincializing Westphalia, a volume on non-Western conceptions of order and justice co-edited with Andrew Hurrell; and (ii) Queering the International, a study of how queer politics might speak to some of the core questions of international relations and political theory.
I am interested in supervising dissertations in the fields of international normative theory, queer theory, and the international relations of South Asia.
