about

I am a Philosophy PhD student at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Previously, I read MPhysPhil Physics and Philosophy at the University of Oxford.

I work primarily on philosophy of science and social epistemology. I also have research interests in social and political philosophy, such as anti-colonial thought, feminist philosophy, and critical theory.

My PhD project, Anti-Colonial Social Epistemology, investigates how colonial domination has distorted the epistemic contributions of the colonised. It further suggests how we should rehabilitate the humanity of the colonised in the context of knowledge production through reconceptualising political resistance and reorganising the social institutions of science and policy.
