I work on communication and media governance, and media anthropology. My current work is in Critical Data Governance, contextualising and historicising data policies and practices in South and Southeast Asia.

My previous research was an ethnography of policymaking for community radio, unravelling its politics and practices, across four countries of South Asia. The policy ethnography led to the development of the 'Deliberative Policy Ecology Approach' to the study of media policy. I hope to continue bringing nuance to this theoretical endeavour through my engagement with communciation governance and media policy research. Towards this, I draw on ethnography as methodology.
