CURRENT PROJECTS

THE ROTI COLLECTIVE

The Roti Collective is a collaborative digital research project focused on roti, the unleavened flatbread central to global South Asian cooking and food cultures. This project analyzes roti and roti-making to study the intersections of imperial and familial intimacies within global South Asia. The Roti Collective maps the migration of roti and roti-makers across transoceanic histories of migration and colonial displacement. As a collaborative project, I am working with college students and South Asian community members to curate a social media archive and website.
