My work focuses on the study of professions and organizations as both actors and sites of interconnected social, cultural, economic transformations with a particular interest in global/transnational relations. My recent research examines how the processes of destination marketing constitute the commodification of national narratives in global markets of tourism; and how economic crisis and technological innovation change practices and relations of production and employment in freelance journalism. I have conducted field research in India and the USA using qualitative methodologies of global ethnography, interviewing, and discourse analysis.
