Roses from the garden, and a reading list for summer, when all the marking and manuscript proofs are done.

Nearly a decade on from beginning the PhD, we have a book cover!

Out later this year - my book exploring caste, migration and indenture as foundational to Indian diplomacy. @hurstpublishers.bsky.social

Midnight sky today - phone camera can’t do justice, but what a joy.

Little moments of calm from a difficult year that has been entirely overwhelmed by work.

Don’t know how I’d have gotten by if not for the incredible support of friends and family during bleak writing days. Here’s hoping 2025 is kinder on us all.
