I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan. My research is centered around procedural planning in the face of pluralism and structural conflict, especially in postcolonial cities. I am also pursuing a Certificate in African Studies, from the Department of African and Afro-American Studies at LSA, University of Michigan, and a Teaching Certificate from the Centre for Research on Learning and Teaching at the University of Michigan.
My research specifically focuses on the structural conflicts and normative debates and questions of “difference” within plural societies that define the planning processes in post-colonial cities in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Most of my work focuses on rethinking planning practices in plural societies to create inclusive and just cities and systems.
