RESEARCH
Interests
How do cultures shape our mind and behaviour? On the other hand, how do we shape our cultures?
These questions are at the root of my research interests. I am interested in examining these questions in a critical and decolonized approach.
My PhD dissertation focuses on the experiences of Canadian Punjabi sons and daughters and elderly parent caregiving.
