My research interests lie at the intersection of race, racism, anti-racism, gender, ethnicity, social movements, social justice, state multiculturalism, and peace-building. In a variety of research projects, I have interrogated from political ethnographic and intersectional approaches how ethno-racial movements contest and seek to transform global and local inequalities.
I am expanding the focus of my previous research by exploring the articulation of bodily anti-racism, aesthetics, and care. My current research questions also explore the articulation between racialized violence, performativity, territoriality and peacebuilding.
