I am a Ph.D. in Sociology with 10+ years of research experience in law and sociology. 

​​​​​​

My dissertation focuses on middle class women's experiences in family disputes in India when they make economic claims against their family. Using qualitative methods such as observations in courtrooms and mediation centers, in-depth interviews and archival research,  I uncover familial and legal mechanisms which make it extremely difficult for women to access family wealth.

​

My research has been supported by the American Sociological Association through a National Science Foundation grant, American Association for University Women, the P.E.O Foundation and the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.
