I am a Sociologist of Education with a particular focus on opportunity, equity, and constraints in education systems. I work at the intersection of research, policy, and design to promote equitable access to education.
My research has previously explored how schooling in a child’s non-native language can make learning inaccessible, how household and gender norms complicate accessing higher education for female students, and the impact of funding and governance on the success of schools. Most notably, in my four years of working with The Citizens Foundation, Pakistan, I designed and implemented a program to provide students with the right to learn in their own language.
My PhD at the University of Cambridge focuses on the risks, resilience, and future life chances of out-of-school children in my home country, Pakistan.
