[5] Her research work has been described by Professor Roger Goodman at the University of Oxford's Nissan Institute as "engaging head-on with the growing and increasingly complex literature on transnationalism and globalisation and relating it constructively to key ideas in symbolic anthropology." [6] A graduate of the University of Toronto and the University of Oxford, she is Chair of Business Anthropology at Royal Holloway, University of London. [7] In 2020, she was shortlisted for the BSFA Award for Shorter Fiction, and in 2023 she won the BSFA Award for Short Non-Fiction. [8]
