I have a PhD in Human Geography from the University of Western Ontario where I researched inter-sectoral water conflict in the Mumbai region in coastal western India. My main interests are in water governance and policy in large metropolitan cities and in interdisciplinary urban studies. I also have an undergraduate and graduate degree in economics, and graduate degrees in social administration and social anthropology from universities in Canada and India. I am interested in making contacts with people who are researching Canadian and Indian urban issues and also welcome contacts from interdisciplinary researchers doing applied work in development policy. My main appointments are at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy where I teach courses on urbanization and South Asia. Since August 2024, I have been working as a manager on a SSHRC research project on housing policy in Canada.
