Autorenporträt

Mallika Shakya teaches at the Department of Sociology at South Asian University, Delhi. She is an economic anthropologist working on socio-economic embeddedness, labour movements and trader communities. She has examined the rise and fall of the readymade garment industry in Nepal since 2001. Her current research examines the nature of overlap between business and social organisation among the Nepali Marwaris who once dominated the garment industry and have now readjusted elsewhere within and outside South Asia. Her recent research and teaching focus on the concepts of regionalism, diaspora and border towns.
