I am currently in the final year of my PhD at the Victoria University of Wellington.

I am interested in studying why Hinduism has continued to survive as a polytheistic religion when other religions of a similar nature have fallen out of favour. My findings also shed light on how religion curbs or enhances access women have to STEM fields and rights in India.
