About Me
In Short
I am an award-winning researcher (I hold a Ph.d., MA, and BA) specialized in representation across axes of oppression in Danish film. I work with creatives and businesses in media, tech, and a range of other industries to critically engage and change the discriminatory and unfair structures that impact their organization, products, and teams.
I am a consultant by training, a media & representation-expert by education, and an activist at heart. I merge the three in my practice for a critical approach to inequality everywhere.
My Background & Philosophy
With over a decade of experience in ESG and CSR consulting my specialty is representation and ethics in product development. Most recently I held a position as the director of Product Ethics, with a company wide charter, at a Fortune 30 tech and media conglomerate.
However, my background stretches from years of activism in collectives (like the Danish student organization FRONT, which fights discrimination in Danish education, Marronage, a decolonial collective behind the Marronage Journal, and the decentring group at Columbia University) through an academic career, which has allowed me to teach (at RUC, KU, Lund) and lecture (at Penn State, Columbia University, etc.) across the World.
I believe that my research, activism, and work benefit from one another. I am driven by a desire for representational justice, and I carry this desire with me into all aspects of my life.
I am Indian-Danish-US-American, based in Copenhagen and New York.
My Methods
I believe learning and changing can be fun and entertaining. I always structure my workshops, teaching, and reports around concrete examples from my clients, enabling them to critically examine and learn from their key challenges.
