Patrick Inglis is Professor of Multidisciplinary Studies at the Center of Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE) in Mexico City, as well as an associate researcher at the Espinosa Yglesias Research Center (CEEY). He teaches and writes on labor, inequality, and global development. His first book, Narrow Fairways: Getting By & Falling Behind in the New India (Oxford University Press 2019), centers on the lives of poor and lower-caste caddies who carry the golf sets of members at exclusive clubs in Bangalore, India. The book highlights how elites secure and extend class and caste privileges, while also delivering a necessary rebuke to India's present development strategy, which pays far too little attention to promoting quality healthcare, education, and other basic social services that would deliver real opportunities to the poor. In addition to ongoing research on poverty alleviation efforts at a privately-funded English-language boarding school for poor Dalit children in south India, he is also developing an ethnographic project on social mobility in Mexico as well as research on the Mexican elite.
