Research topic
My doctoral research focuses on the history of Central Asia under Russian rule. I began studying Central Asian history in 2019, building on some of my earlier work done while studying at King’s College London.
Conferences, presentations and workshops [selection]
In Hillary term 2024, I had co-convened a one-day workshop, Approaches and Perspectives for the Caucasus and Central Asia, which provided a forum for graduate students and early career researchers working on the two regions across the disciplines ranging from History and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies to Area Studies and Political Science. I had organised the panels on the Caucasus and Central Asia in the Tsarist period and presented one of my work-in-progress papers.
