Trained as an oral historian in India and Canada, my research addresses questions of socio-economic inequalities, dynamics of power in place and questions of labour and gender in the Global South, including geographies of poverty and informality within the Global North. My current research, "Not Cheap Labour: Women's Lives in Garment Supply Chains" examines the impact of economic restructuring on labour’s experiences through the Global South lens. It aims to transnationalize the conversation around deindustrialization, while also exploring the entanglement of economy and culture through a focus on women’s labour. My current teaching interests include South Asia in Global History and race, class and gender in deindustrialization, economic restructuring and labour history. I welcome student enquiries for supervision in the following areas: Oral history, South Asian labour diaspora, Gender and labour, Deindustrialization in the West and Economic Restructuring in South Asia.
