Biography
My broad research interests include understanding patterns and processes of racial/ethnic residential intermixing, poverty, inequality and economic opportunities within the urban context of USA and India. Within USA, major topics of interest include understanding influence of contemporary housing market elements on residential choice(s) and how might they impact segregation and/or intermixing at inter-urban and intra-urban spaces. This project was earlier conducted for the 49 largest metropolises (more than 1 million population in 2000) in USA, and a detailed intra-urban study focused on Columbus, Ohio and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Research Interest
Urban-social/economic issues focusing on racial/ethnic diversity and segregation, housing disparity, informal economy, mixed-method approaches in geographic research
