Adjunct professor, Department of Social Inquiry, La Trobe University

I am a writer and sociologist of money and migration. My current research is on domestic economic abuse among the Anglo-Celtic and Indian communities in Australia. Gender is a continuing motif in my research on globalization and money, the sociology of money and banking, the sociology of migration and remittances, and the user-centred design of information and communication technologies. My latest book is 'Domestic Economic Abuse: The Violence of Money' (2021:Routledge). My other recent books are 'Money, Migration and Family: India to Australia' (2016: Palgrave Macmillan). My other recent books are 'Globalization and Money: A Global South Perspective (2013: Rowman & Littlefield), and 'The Girls Ate Last' (2013: Angsana Publications). I am an Adjunct Professor, Department of Social Inquiry, La Trobe University
