About
I am currently living in Delhi writing a book about the Delhi Metro, funded by the American Institute of Indian Studies. I received my Ph.D. in Anthropology from U.C. Berkeley in 2003, and from 2003-2007 was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. Since then I have taught as Visiting Faculty at IIT Madras and IIT Delhi. My first book, English Heart, Hindi Heartland: The Political Life of Literature in India was published in 2012 by the University of California Press. In August 2012 I will be joining the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at George Mason University as an Assistant Professor.
