This is reflected by his Political Science senior essay entitled "Immigration Discourse in Greece: Politics of Crisis"; and his Ethnicity, Race, and Migration senior essay "Navigating Identities: Kashmiri Expressions and Enactments of Home"; which received the South Asian Studies Council Senior Essay Prize.
