PhD researcher in Public Law | Intersectionality, Secularism & Minority Rights
Completing my PhD at @VUB examining how state policies on secularism and freedom of religion shape citizenship and equal participation for minority women across France and India—challenging the analytical limits of intersectionality itself.

Published work:
Religions (Q1): Beyond Emancipation and Oppression: Post-Secular Intersectionality and the Muslim Woman in the French Republic
Religions (Q1): The Burden of Being a Muslim Woman in India (5,000+ reads)
Chapter in Minority Women, Rights and Intersectionality: Agency, Power, and Participation (Routledge, 2025, co-edited) — Unveiling Colonial Legacies: Negotiating Intersectional Identity(ies) and Rights of Muslim Women: A Comparative Analysis of France and India
Beyond the Noise: Who Really Wants Muslim Women in India to Prosper? (UCL Press, 2025)
Protecting Pluralism, Navigating Rights: A Decolonial Critique of India's Anti-Conversion Laws (Palgrave/Springer, 2025)
My approach is socio-legal and interdisciplinary—engaging law, politics, history, and comparative analysis. I've presented at international conferences across Europe (SISP, RCSL, ISFORB, ECMI, ISA Sociology Forum) and contributed to EURAC Research's Gender Matters platform.
Active in @BRIAS_RELINK2, Democratic Commons, BIRMM, and the Race, Religion & Secularism Network.
Currently exploring: the intersection of digital governance, democracy, and intersectionality.
