I am an art historian specializing in modern and contemporary art from South Asia, Cold War histories of art, and museum and exhibition studies. I am currently Assistant Professor in Art History at the Cleveland Institute of Art (2023-).

Originally from the United Kingdom, I completed an MFA in Art Writing from Goldsmiths College in 2010 before relocating to Karachi, Pakistan, where I was a Lecturer in Art History at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture and a co-coordinator at Vasl Artists’ Association until 2014. I received my PhD from the Graduate Center, City University of New York in 2019 and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the same institution between 2019 and 2021. My ongoing book project, Modernist Agencies: Art and Cold War Culture in Pakistan is forthcoming and has been supported by the Modernist Studies Association, American Institute of Pakistan Studies, the Asian Cultural Council, and a Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowship in the History of Art (2022-23), among others.
