My research examines mobility/immobility, gender, intimacy, citizenship, and activism, particularly in Eurasia. My current book project attends to questions of care, solidarity, and dissent through its ethnographic focus on francophone asylum seekers and citizen activists contesting configurations of power in Putin’s Russia. I have authored articles in such journals as African Diaspora, Citizenship Studies, Signs, and Cultural Anthropology, as well as three monographs: Sex, Love and Migration: Postsocialism, Modernity, and Intimacy from Istanbul to the Arctic (Cornell University Press 2017) and The Museum at the End of the World: Encounters in the Russian Far East and Red Ties and Residential Schools: Indigenous Siberians in a Post-Soviet State (both with the University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003 and 2004).
