Her research explores trans-species feminist urban planning – examining the significant and yet invisible role of animals in city building, and the complicity of urban religion in enabling animal exploitation for urban development.Her book Religion, Heritage and the Sustainable City: Hinduism and Urbanisation in Jaipur (Routledge) was published in 2015.
