My interests are in labor, technology, feminism, and transnationalism. I’m especially interested in the way that the contemporary information economy links intangibles (identity, emotions, etc.) to tangibles (interactive service, high-tech production, etc.). India’s outsourcing industry has been the focal point for much of my fieldwork, through which I have examined high-end software, mid-level call centers, and low-end computer manufacturing. Recent projects explore the labors of surveillance and cybersecurity.
Please see my website above for activities and publications.
I've been a visiting scholar with ISTC-Irvine, and contine to run a year-long reading group on labor, technology, and transnationalism with Kavita Philip.
