PhD: Transmitting in/equality across borders: shifting inheritance practices and outcomes among Indian migrants in London

My research is focused on interrogating the migration-inheritance nexus to enable a better understanding of transnational migrants’ inheritance practices and outcomes. By interrogating both the informal and formal mechanisms through which migrants’ inheritance rights are negotiated, maintained and translated and analysis will be undertaken to consider the extent to which these assets translate into economic security and productivity. This project will be working in partnership with the Runnymede Trust building on previous collaborative work on the role of risk in shaping migrants’ financial practices.
