I am an academic, writer, and consultant, working on climate change, energy, contemporary India, and the curious politics of numbers—amongst other things.
From 2008 to 2015 I was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. In September 2015 I shifted across the Atlantic to become a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Political Science of the University of Chicago.
There I am working on ‘Studies in Climate Change: The Limits of the Numerical’ alongside Dipesh Chakrabarty, Jim Chandler, and others at the Franke Institute for the Humanities. I’m also a member of UChicago’s Committee on Southern Asian Studies, while back in the UK I’m glad to say that I remain a research associate of Oxford’s Contemporary South Asian Studies Programme.
I’ve been invited to present on aspects of my research in the UK, the US, India, and Australia. You can find some of my work on this website or via academia.edu. A travel book based on my fieldwork, Delhi: Mostly Harmless, was published by Random House India in 2013.
