She has lectured at the University of Amsterdam; held fellowships at the University of Toronto and the International Institute of Asian Studies (Leiden); and worked for Social Science Research Council (New York). 

Malini has published in anthropology and interdisciplinary journals including HAU, Mobilities, Indian Journal of Gender Studies and the Economic and Political Weekly. She has co-edited a collection of ethnographic essays on migration entitled Transnational Flows and Permissive Polities (with B.
