Background
I obtained my doctorate in History from St Antony's College, Oxford, in 1987. I have written widely on the Indian diaspora, and have a particular interest in the western Indian Ocean islands, notably Mauritius.
I am currently employed as a Post Doctoral Research Assistant on the 'Becoming Coolies' project in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology.
