Teaching Interests

Much of my teaching arises out of my own research, and I currently teach on violence, social and political movements and caste politics and change in India. My teaching interests extend beyond my research, however, and have included examinations of culture and identity in Britain, South Asian nationalism, and the gendered nature of 'Development' processes.
