I am Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Gender, Justice and Development, Department of Sociology & Anthropology at the University of Guelph.
My research is located within the broad field of gender and development and has a strong focus on social justice. I have explored gender discrimination, violence, generational dynamics, well-being and empowerment through research on sex ratio imbalance, daughter discrimination, and related gendered practices, domestic violence, and youth and farming. I am interested in exploring masculinities among young men in India and the Indian and South Asian diaspora in Canada.
I am currently the Director of the Canada India Research Centre for Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE). I also co-facilitate the People’s Archive of Rural Ontario (PARO).
