Her research explores how women reconcile traditional ideas of gender with the standards and expectations of the ‘global workplace’ and how they integrate the cultural messages learnt in childhood with those of contemporary urban India.
She is interested in debates around modernity, cultural identities and gender equality in the workplace. A qualified teacher, she has several years' experience teaching Sociology and Gender Studies at the undergraduate and secondary school levels. She has been involved in curriculum development for primary and secondary schools in India. She is interested in the relationship between academic achievement and gender and in the construction of women in Indian mythology.
