I am a sociologist interested in everyday ethical and sustainable practices. Through my research, writing, and teaching, I help individuals to lead more ethical and sustainable lives, which is so important in this modern context.

​​

I am a Lecturer in Sociology at Southampton Solent University where I teach on modules such as Bodies and Identities, Migration and Refugees, and Researching the City. I am also open to PhD supervision, so please email me to discuss.

 

I am currently working on a number of research projects. In addition to my research on faith veganism, I am also exploring the experiences of vegan, animal rights, and environmental activists in Muslim facing contexts with colleagues at Green Islam, and climate change and mobilities, and homes and energy with colleagues at the University of Southampton.

​

In 2024, I completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Southampton, UK, where I explored the ethics, values, and practices of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian vegans in the UK. In particular, I was interested in how ethical principles are interrogated and reinterpreted, ultimately leading to new reimaginations of religion and culture, and practice transformation.

​

In 2022, I co-founded Green Islam, a visionary new organisation that strives to highlight the incompatibility between modern consumption and lifestyle practices with Islamic teachings, in turn seeking to inspire Muslims to re-engage and act in accordance with the ethical spirit of Islam.

​

I am also a trustee for Qatrah, a charity which supports vulnerable women and children in Afghanistan, who are suffering as a result of the current geopolitical situation in the country.

​

In my personal life, I am happily married with two beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my family, going for long walks, and reading.
