Profile
I am a sociologist and ethnographer studying processes of economic precarisation and informalisation, educational marginalisation and production of socio-spatial inequalities in India and England. Alongside structural relations and processes, I also research young people's practices of educational, economic, cultural and political participation under contemporary realities of global capitalism. My current work focuses on young people's incorporation into digital economies (India) and post-16 investments in work and education (England).
