I am a social anthropologist who investigates anthropological and social theory from its margins by paying attention to the experience of peasants and other groups of poor people in India. I employ anthropology’s traditional emphasis on a deep understanding of a place or people as a vantage point from which to critique and expand received ideas in a social theory.
