Bio
Byron Gray is an anthropologist whose work centers on the intersection of politics, law, religion, and urban space in South Asia. His doctoral research examined the associational, legal, and ritual means that Catholics in Bombay, India have employed to advance spatial and property claims in the city since its transformation into “Mumbai” in the 1990s.
Prior to receiving his PhD, Byron earned a MPhil in Socio-Cultural Anthropology from the University of Oxford, and BA in Political Science, South Asian Studies, and Law, Societies, & Justice from the University of Washington.
