I am an aspiring critical theorist with extensive experience in education, media, and the development sector. I have worked with both public and private educational institutions as well as non-governmental organizations across multiple countries. Over nearly two decades, I have taught students from more than 80 countries.
My research interests include human emancipation, security, critical theories, the intersection of religion and politics, research methodologies, systems and structures of repression, and the dynamics of public policy and leadership.
I am currently working on research projects focused on the intersection of religion and politics as well as the relationship between public policy and leadership. As a proponent of reducing compartmentalization within academia, I am interested in transdisciplinary research by bridging advanced information technology and the social sciences, particularly political science.
