I obtained my PhD from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania (USA). My research interests include anthropologies of mobility, the local-to-global nexus, discourses and imaginaries of Otherness, cultural brokering, and public interest ethnographies. I have conducted fieldwork in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Belgium.
