About me
I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) of Sociology at Wake Forest University. I teach Introduction to Sociology, and other courses under the Business & Society concentration.
In my research, I study how globalization and technology create new forms of work, new pathways of migration, and new goals and strategies of collective action.
In my recently finished doctoral dissertation, I have used qualitative methods to analyze how Indian tech workers organize in India and in the US.
Research
My transnational research falls at the intersection of labor, migration, technology, labor movements, and social movements. I use the sociological scholarship of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and global intersectionality to understand how social inequalities are reproduced in globalization, and how new forms of resistance emerge, along with new identities of work.
