I am presently a fellow at Yale University's MacMillan Center (23/ 24). I have previously taught at universities in Karachi and Istanbul. I received my doctorate in political science (concentration legal and political philosophy) from the Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg.
My work focuses on two overlapping themes. First, I am interested in understanding the role of human rights in managing individuals and populations. I attempt to make human rights law relevant for addressing debates in contemporary legal and political theory. Parts of the work have been published in European Law Journal, Theory Culture and Society, among others. Second, I am interested in understanding how managing individuals and populations relies on and makes use of normative ideas. Articles appearing in European Journal of Political Theory, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory, among others, address this theme. Much of my work is interdisciplinary - though I often (and not always with success) try to pass as a theorist of law and politics.
