Personal profile
Academic Background
I have an MSc and PhD in Development Studies from London University's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).
Biography
I am a political economist/political sociologist researching processes of exploitation, accumulation, domination, patriarchy and collective action in the Global South. I focus on rural-based informal labour, circular migration, social reproduction, class and gender relations, state-society relations, government poverty reduction programmes, and social movements of classes of labour and their search for greater social equity.
Career
Before joining the School of International Development in 2008, I taught International Political Economy and Development Studies at SOAS, and was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Mysore in Karnataka, South India. I have also worked at the Institute of Development Studies (University of Sussex) and was active in an international social movement network from 1999-2004.
