Having recently returned to Portland, I am in the final stages of writing my dissertation for a PhD in anthropology from Queen’s University Belfast. My 16-month ethnography examines everyday experiences of Muslim women in post-conflict Northern Ireland. I engage with issues of gender, visibility, movement and space. I also serve as Reviews Editor for the Irish Journal of Anthropology. In 2021, I published reports mapping research on migrant and minority populations to facilitate access for Northern Ireland policy and advocacy efforts. I have another publication in revision on how spatio-temporal displacement affects refugee women’s conceptions of home and family. In 2020, I published on Lyra’s Walk for Peace, looking at embodied ethnography, protest and conflict. Previously, I completed a master’s in anthropology at PSU, then spent five years working with disaster-affected communities, post-conflict areas, homelessness and displacement. I also served as adjunct anthropology professor at George Washington University lecturing on gender, development and humanitarianism.
