What does a sociologist have to say about potholes?! :) 🛺🏍️🕳️ Delighted to share my latest writing, out in @IJURResearch, in which I write about pesky potholes and bumpy rides in Hyderabad, India. Long in the works, this article is open access, yay: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…
Hot off the press. I am delighted to share my latest article 'The making and unmaking of the Bhalswa landfill in Delhi'. Hopefully the article will help us move beyond a narrow understanding of landfills as 'eye sores', often portrayed by int. media. 🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I wrote this article on why concerns of undercounting from Lingayat & Vokkaliga communities may be genuine - not because the census is wrong, but because both communities lack sociological reality of caste & were constructed by colonial censuses (1/2) deccanherald.com/opinion/caste-…
