India, Pakistan

My doctoral dissertation focuses on the 1947 Partition of South Asia,
particularly the work of the Radcliffe Boundary Commission in the Punjab. I
am examining factors that influenced Radcliffe's decisions and the ways that
the new boundary affected the two Indian and Pakistani nation-states, as
well as the people living in the divided areas. My interests include
cartography, gender studies, and the use of partition as a tool to resolve
ethnic conflict.
