Considered one of the world's leading experts on the Ancient Indus Valley Civilization, Dr. Kenoyer is involved in ongoing research on the Indus Civilization in Pakistan and India as well as in adjacent regions such as Oman and Afghanistan. He has also expanded his areas of study into East and Southeast Asia to better understand the long distance trade linking these regions to South Asia. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011 and is a member of the American Anthropological Association, as well as many other professional associations. He has been involved in numerous institutions that link US academics to regions of South Asia, such as the Council for American Overseas Research Centers, the American Institute of Indian Studies, the American Institute of Bangladesh Studies, the American Institute of Afghanistan Studies and the American Institute of Pakistan Studies. He is a fluent speaker of Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali.
