LSE Teaching Fellow
About
I am a teaching fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where I convene taught courses, advise students and supervise dissertations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I am a specialist on the anthropology of class and labour, organised crime and corruption, and have conducted ethnographic fieldwork in India among industrial workers, trade unionists and violent entrepreneurs.
I am currently preparing a monograph for Routledge entitled ‘Criminal Capital: Making Class through Corruption in an Indian Company Town’. The monograph analyses the role played by corruption and organised crime in the erosion of blue-collar employment security, and focuses upon the relationship between capitalism and criminality.
In September 2012 I will join an international collaborative study of the criminalisation of South Asian politics, funded by the European Research Council (ERC).
