Collaborations
Easily one of my favorite things about this line of work is the incredible range of collaborations that it allows for. My work has grown tremendously through collaborations, and I always look forward to conversations with new collaborators. Here are some things that I’m currently involved in (listed in order of soonest approaching deadline) and would be happy to speak further about:
Together with Frank Cody, I am co-organizing a graduate workshop for researchers working on South Asia on Monday, April 28th, 2025. If you are based in the Greater Toronto Area and would like to participate, please submit an abstract here by February 28th, 2025.
Together with Jiya Pandya and Tanushree Sarkar, I am co-editing a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly. Titled “Peripheral Crip Critique,” our special issue focuses on disability and crip theory in the Global South/Majority World. The full call for papers can be found here. Abstracts for this special issue were accepted until February 15th, 2025, but if you would like to be involved in the project in other ways or receive updates about this body of work, please do not hesitate to write to us at peripheralcripcritique@gmail.com.
I am the Managing Editor of Platypus, an interdisciplinary science studies blog. We warmly welcome interdisciplinary writing and multimodal content on science and technology studies. If you have an idea that you’d like to explore or an interest that you think would be a particularly good fit for the blog, please feel free to write to editor@castac.org
Other selected recent collaborations:
I am very lucky to get to do the work that I do amidst a number of generous and generative communities. Among other things, I am a Steering Committee member of the Disability Research Interest Group and at the Access in the Making Lab.
Together with Dashiel Carrera, Rachel Levine, Manveer Kalirai, Daniel Wigdor, Ishtiaque Ahmed, and Robert Soden, I co-organized a workshop with artists and authors on perceiving Large Language Models (LLMs) through creative metaphors. (Un)Agented Submissions: Shutting Up the Chat Metaphor for Large Language Models took place on December 7 & 8, 2024, in Toronto.

At the 2023 Madison South Asia Conference, Michele Friedner and I co-organized a symposium on South Asian disability futures.
I also co-organized and moderated a roundtable on reading and writing disability in South Asia at Madison.
