My publications on the economic legacies of the British colonial empire and the economic history of modern South Asia have reshaped the scholarship and public discourse on these subjects.

For over two decades, I have worked to advance the field, serving as a member of professional bodies, editor of field journals, and editor of major reference resources.

My Twitter/X account counters folklore about the history of colonial empires spread by the media and popular history writers by showing that these are not evidence-tested and pointing out where evidence-based scholarship can be found.
