- Anticolonial violence and its intersection with organized nationalism, emphasizing sensory and visual sources in historical analysis (e.g., A Revolutionary History of Interwar India, 2015/2016).
- Transnational dynamics of empire, focusing on Indian diasporas in Australia and their impact on anticolonial movements (British India, White Australia, 2020).
- Current DFG-funded research redefining anticolonial history through a 'sensory turn,' analyzing sound in the Civil Disobedience movement.
