Robyn Andrews

Robyn Andrews wrote Christmas in Calcutta: Anglo-Indian Stories and Essays (2014), based on her lengthy research relationship with the Anglo-Indian community in Kolkata. As a social anthropologist she writes for both academic and general audiences in the form of chapters in books, articles, magazines. She is the recipient of a number of research grants – from her university (Massey University, New Zealand) as well as from the New Zealand India Research Institute, and from the Asia–New Zealand Foundation. She is a regular visitor to India, which she likes to think of as her second homeland.
