About

I'm a recent UIC graduate, with a PhD in Cultural Anthropology. My research looks at the role of fashion design education in the lives of young women in Kathmandu, Nepal. I'm particularly interested in research around the ideas of class, consumption, aesthetics, kinship and gender. I am also interested in higher education pedagogical practices and evidence based learning strategies.
