I am a current doctoral student in the Linguistics program, and my research agenda is primarily concerned with introducing multilingual, highly complex scenarios which our current theories in linguistics fail to account for, despite being incredibly common. This manifests itself in two ways: the first is that I am interested in furthering our study of 鈥榞rassroots multilingualism鈥� in world cities like Delhi, Lagos, Sydney, where residents navigate their cities using a complex, multifaceted translinguistic repertoire, and hence understanding how languages are both fluid and divided in those situations is illuminating. The second is through my study of Indian English, I try to investigate dimensions such as alterity, regional identity construction in a multiethnic scenario, nationhood and class.
