CV Summary: 

My primary research interests include group processes and intergroup relations, particularly intergroup humiliation; prejudice, leadership; political rhetoric and collective mobilisation; social psychology of caste; stigma & wellbeing among marginalised groups. I use multiple quantitative (survey, experiments) and qualitative (thematic analysis, discourse analysis) methods for a deeper examination of issues/problems.

I am co-editor of the Journal of Social Inclusion Studies (Sage) and Book Reviews editor for the Caste: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion (Brandeis University). I serve on the editorial boards of the British Journal of Social Psychology (BJSP), the Asian Journal of Social Psychology (AJSP), and the Journal of Social & Political Psychology (JSPP).

My work contributes to addressing the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing); SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality); SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions)
