Teaching at Georgia Tech:
Government and Politics of South Asia, Spring 2025
This course introduces students to the politics and government of South Asia. We will look at modern South Asian politics with a focus on democracy, examining the distinct paths India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka took. We will also learn about important concepts and topics in modern South Asian politics, such as the economy, caste, religion, gender, or criminality. By the end of the semester, students will have a solid understanding of the state of democracy across South Asia, and will be able to comment thoughtfully on important topics related to the region’s politics.
Capstone in Global Development, Spring 2025
In this course, students will propose solutions to urgent, real-world problems that fall within the scope of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students draw on what they have learned across their respective major as well as their minor in Global Development to develop projects based on their in-depth knowledge of the issue, their familiarity with previous (attempts at) solutions, and their understanding of stakeholder perspectives.

India Study Abroad Program:
I am co-leading the development of a new study abroad program in India at the Sam Nunn School for International Affairs, titled “People-Centered Sustainable Development in India.” Over the course of 7 weeks, students earn 9 Credit Hours through a mix of lectures and field trips, all while immersing themselves in a new culture. We will be based in Delhi, Mumbai, and Agra. The program focuses on people-centered human development, an approach that puts individuals and communities at the center of the development process, both as beneficiaries and as drivers. As part of the experience, students meet practitioners and activists; learn from NGOs and researchers; speak to politicians and bureaucrats; and get to know the country, its history, and its people.
