Sally
Anne Wood has worked alongside Walter Glaser in a travel writing partnership
for over 20 years. She has a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Honours
degree specialising in the Asia region, international relations, globalized
media and literature. Her travel articles reflect her interest in religious
art and architecture, film and literature: from the Hindu funeral rites in Bali
and Indian masala film to the epic literatures of Finland and Greece.
In her academic role (as Sally
Percival Wood), she has recently contributed co-written chapters to three
volumes: ‘Public Health, Care and Bioethics in Modern India’ for
Indian Ethics (Ashgate Publishing, 2005); ‘Lost Souls, Troubled Minds:
Medicalization of Madness in the Mysore State and During the Raj’ as
part of the History of Psychiatry in India project at the National Institute
of Mental Health and Neuroscience (NIMHANS), Bangalore, which will appear
in Traditions of Science: Cross-cultural Perspectives (Munshiram,
2006); and ‘Exploring the Australia-Middle East Connection’ for
Australia and the Middle East: Migration, Trade and Globalized Politics (I.B.
Tauris, 2006).
Sally is currently
researching and co-writing a volume on personal law in India (for Oxford University
Press, Delhi), with a particular focus on the legal experience of Muslim women.
She is also working on her first independent book which explores cultural
and gender identity in Indian film as it expands into the global media marketplace.
Sally also works as a researcher with the Centre for Citizenship and Human
Rights at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia and is General Secretary
of Sophia, an international journal for philosophy of religion, metaphysical
theology and ethics.
