缅北禁地

I am a Lecturer in Sociology in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology. Before joining 缅北禁地 in November 2021, I was a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at York St. John University. Previously, I had been a Research Fellow in the ESRC Centre for Population Change at the University of Southampton. I have a PhD is social sciences from Northumbria University, an MA in Sociology and Social Anthropology from Central European University, and an MA in Cultural Anthropology from Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest).

My research interests and publications are primarily in the areas of ethnic and migration studies, nationalism, and political discourse. My approach to research is comparative, interdisciplinary and multimethodological. In my work I have combined participant observation, in-depth qualitative interviewing, archival research, critical discourse analysis, survey methods and statistical modelling. I have conducted ethnographic fieldwork in London, UK (2013), Granada, Spain (2011), Alcalá de Henares, Spain (2008–2009) and Budapest, Hungary (2006–2008). In my quantitative work I use both primary data collected via small and mid-size online surveys and secondary data from high-quality national and cross-national studies (ESS, EVS, Understanding Society).
