- About Me
I am a doctoral student at Michigan State University. My doctoral project (tentatively titled)—Border Metropoles: Of two cities and a river—explores the impact of border imposition, control and infrastructure on the urban form and environment of Detroit and Windsor between 1865 and 1939.
I am passionate about public history and am currently interning at the Michigan History Center where I conduct archival research, as well as collaborate on interpreting and visualizing research output into exhibition material.
I come from an interdisciplinary background in Journalism, Political Science, Science-Policy Studies and Urban Design. In a former life, I studied dams, engineers, and fish in modern India.
