Personal profile

ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Edinburgh (2003-4); Lecturer in Sociology, University of Edinburgh (2004-5);  Lecturer in the Anthropology of Migration (2005-9), University of Oxford; Lecturer in Sociology, University of Bristol, from 2009.

Research

My principle research interests are in gender, the family and migration, particularly in the field of cross-border marriages.  I have published several articles and am preparing a book manuscript based on qualitative research on Pakistani transnational marriages, and have broader interests in South Asia and its diasporas, and in ethnicity and transnationalism. I convene a research network on ‘Marriage and Migration’ and am currently editing a book for Routledge on ‘Transnational Marriage’. Other projects on marriage-related migration to Britain are under development. I have also worked on Scottish graduate migration and retention (with Ross Bond & Sue Grundy, Edinburgh).

Teaching

Undergraduate Courses:  Social Identities and Divisions, Global Society, Gender and Migration (starting 2010-11)

Postgraduate Courses: Narrating the Self

I am keen to supervise PhD projects related to my research interests.
