She is the author of Sex and the Family in Colonial India: the making of empire (2006) and with Dane Kennedy, the co-editor of Decentring Empire: Britain, India and the Transcolonial World (2006). She is currently working on a new project that is tentatively titled, "Gentlemanly Terrorists: political violence and revolutionary protest in interwar Bengal" and focuses on the ways in which violence against the British colonial state became an important, but historically underemphasized, form of protest.
