Research:
I am a socio-cultural anthropologist with a specialization in kinship and household studies and a regional specialization in South and Central Asia. I have focused on the impact of political and economic reforms on family systems among pastoralists in Tibet, China and the impact of social and demographic changes and the recent civil war on interpersonal relationships among peasant farmers in northwest Nepal.
