Kabir Matharu is a graduate of Cornell University, with a BA in English Literature and Concentration in Indigenous Studies. He became interested in the field of sociolinguistics through coursework on development of the English language and minority linguistics. Studying abroad at the University of Sydney under the auspices of the Cornell Presidential Research Scholars and Gilman International Scholarship programs, Kabir conducted research on Indigenous Australian language revitalization efforts in the Sydney-area. This work took him to various parts of the country to speak with community leaders, including the Northern Territory and the state of Queensland. He holds a special interest in minority health and outreach, due to the inextricable link between language, culture, and health. Kabir currently conducts research at Harvard Medical School within the field of pathology.
