Research Interests	My research is based in Rajasthan and my current project is revolving around a community of petty thieves with a focus on local structures of support of their activities. Broader questions that keep me occupied include ideas of gossip, secrecy and deviance, as can be approached from historical and ethnographic perspectives.
Publications	None on file.
