Profile

I am a media anthropologist and my research is situated at the intersection of anthropology and film studies. I am the author of Cut-Pieces: Celluloid Obscenity and Popular Cinema in Bangladesh (Columbia University Press, 2014), which was awarded the 2016 Bernard S. Cohn Book Prize. I am one of the editors of Forms of the Left in Postcolonial South Asia: Aesthetics, Networks and Connected Histories (Bloomsbury, 2021). I co-edit the journal BioScope: South Asian Screen Studies.
