My work is based on long-term ethnographic research and builds on the fields of critical migration studies, labor studies, and urban studies.
My research revolves around several themes.
The first is international migration, transnationalism, and cultural diversity. I have a long-standing interest in Chinese migration and related labor and social issues in Europe, as well as the contributions of migrants to city-making.
I am also interested in the anthropology of politics. My research focuses on the intersection of law enforcement and urban governance, particularly selective law enforcement based on processes of racialization.
Additionally, I examine how China is reshaping its transnational digital space, as well as the ways in which diaspora members participate in this and other global digital spaces in relation to China.
I also study how the presence of Chinese transnational workers in Africa challenges dominant conceptualizations of migrant labor.
