Dr Katy Gardner trained in anthropology at Cambridge and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her work has focussed on issues of globalisation, migration and economic change in Bangladesh and its transnational communities in the U.K. Her doctoral research, carried out in the 1980s, examined the transformations associated with overseas migration in a village in Sylhet, and resulted in her monograph Global Migrants, Local Lives: Travel and Transformation in Rural Bangladesh (OUP 1995). Katy is familiar with acting as an expert witness and has worked in this capacity for different organisations for many years.
