Book publications
Her first book, The Grace of Four Moons: Dress, Adornment, and the Art of the Body in Modern India, was published in 2008 and discusses the everyday and special occasion dress of women in Banaras (Varanasi), India.[4][5] For this book, the Costume Society of America has awarded her the 2009 Millia Davenport Publication Award,[6] which is awarded to published works that make a significant contribution to the study of costume using appropriate methodology, original thought, and exceptional creativity.[7] The book was also recognized by the Asian Studies Association with the Anada Coomaraswamy Prize, which recognizes the best book written about India in English for 2010. Shukla has been invited to several institutions in the United States and abroad to give lectures on her book.[8]
Her second book, Costume: Performing Identities through Dress, was published in 2015 and offers richly detailed case studies from the United States, Brazil, and Sweden to show how individuals use costumes for social communication and to express facets of their personalities.[9] She co-edited a collection titled, The Individual and Tradition: Folkloristic Perspectives, with fellow folklorists Ray Cashman and Tom Mould.[10]

Shukla, whose parents are from Banaras (Varanasi), India, was born in Oslo, Norway, and spent her childhood in São Paulo, Brazil before her family settled in California.[4][5] She speaks fluent English, Hindi, and Portuguese.[3]
