My research interests include motherhood studies, Black feminist thought, contemporary fiction, postcolonial studies, and translation studies. My scholarly work examines the intersections of gender, race, power, motherhood, and resistance in literary texts. My current research focuses on representations of Black motherhood in African American literature, as well as the translation of Punjabi literary works into English.
