I am a senior researcher at the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute at the University of Freiburg. I received my PhD from the Department of Political Science, University of Delhi. My research expertise includes gender, conflict and security in the global south. Currently, I research on sexual violence against women along the war and peace continuum; and motherhood in violence and transitional justice. My book 'Contesting Masculinities and Women's Agency in Kashmir' was published by Rowman and Littlefield in 2022 and the Indian edition by Manohar Publishers in 2023.
