Research interests
My research and teaching focus on the British empire and the international order from 1850 until the present. I study the social structures of inequalities, particularly their gendered and racial articulations, the history of economic thoughts, and the legal architecture of the economy. Drawing on national, international, and nongovernmental archives from around and beyond the British empire, my work situates Britain’s history within a global and imperial frame. My work emphasizes that a global lens can help uncover both international structures of inequalities as well as the lived gendered and racial experiences of the global economy, whether it is on a high street in Manchester or a factory floor in Ahmedabad. I have written about the history of nonprofits and fair trade, decolonization and neoliberalism, development aid and gender, boycotts and corporate social responsibility, and the relationship between humanitarianism and empire.
