He has consulted for various think tanks, foundations and nonprofit organizations including the Smithsonian, India China Institute, Ford Foundation, and World Policy Institute.
Mobile money, e-commerce, cash cards, retail credit cards, and more--as new monetary technologies become increasingly available, the global South has cautiously embraced these mediums as a potential solution to the issue of financial inclusion. How, if at all, do new forms of dematerialized money impact people's everyday financial lives? In what way do technologies interact with financial repertoires and other socio-cultural institutions? How do these technologies of financial inclusion shape the global politics and geographies of difference and inequality? These questions are at the heart of Money at the Margins, a groundbreaking exploration of the uses and socio-cultural impact of new forms of money and financial services.
