About
My research has focused on social and political movements both in South India and Scotland.
My research in India focused on the socio-political mobilisation of Dalits (ex-Untouchables) and their struggle to achieve equality and deepen Indian democracy. This research fed into my book: Untouchable Citizens which explores the interplay between Dalit movements and Democratisation in South India. I have also written on issues pertaining to collective violence, identity politics and the construction and negotiation of social space.
My research in Scotland focuses on the public order policing. Initially Michael Rosie and I looked at the global protests surrounding the G8 meeting in 2005 and the policing of those protests. An interim report on our findings and details of publications can be found here: http://www.sociology.ed.ac.uk/current_research/g8_research
Subsequently we have done research on other protest events and how they are policed.
