- coloniality and systemic issues in online governance infrastructures
- cultural (in)sensitivity in addressing harmful content in the Global Majority
- culturally-aligned approaches to reimagine online governance futures
Apart from research, the following things keep me excited: books, concerts, jigsaw puzzles, and .
