Mobility for What? Space, Time, Labor, and Gender in South Asia
Questions about women's safety have gained importance in both India and Pakistan, as gendered and sexual violence in public spaces has risen. This motivates questions about the presence and mobility of women in public spaces in South Asia and their determinants. In this paper, we extend feminist scholarship on space and time, social reproduction, classical patriarchy, and the everyday by unpacking the concept of mobility into two new categories: …
Capital, Caste, and Patriarchy

This article challenges such assumptions and complicates the Euro-American association of vegetarian dietary preferences with the ethic…

Time Use and Household Division of Labor in India-Within-Gender Dynamics
Household allocation of labor is an important area of scholarship in developing countries where women's well-being is affected by the heavy load of unpaid work within the household. This study extends nuclear household-centric research on labor allocation by drawing attention to bargaining between female in-laws in multigenerational households in India. This paper empirically tests two competing theories based on the impact of a daughter-in-law's…
