I am a gender specialist with over 12 years of experience working on research in the area of gender and inequalities. Through this work I have experience working in different countries such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. My training and experience have enabled me connect the worlds of research and practice towards arriving at context specific, evidence based solutions for different social issues. My current project, Exploring Pathways to Incarceration among Indian and Sri Lankan Women is a mixed methods study investigating the pre-prison lives and experiences of 180 women incarcerated in India and Sri Lanka. My research agenda is anchored in the goal to build on the limited yet growing criminal justice research in the South Asian context. I have received three awards for this research. My research has been published in Feminist Criminology, the Journal of Research on Crime and Delinquency and the European Journal of Criminology.
