Research interests
Location and borders; the politics of gender and sexuality; the relationship between ICT networks and geophysical space in Manchester; constructions of space, place and landscape on the Greek-Albanian border; money, location and borders.
Current research project: Of borders and money: an ethnographic study of shifting locations, relations and accounts in the Aegean. This is a new research project on the ‘relocation’ of the eastern peripheries of Europe, with pilot work being currently carried out on the Greek-Turkish border, in the Aegean. Research is being carried on in both Greece and Turkey until August 2007
EastBordNet: One of the other major aspects of my work recently has been to bring together a loose international research network called EastBordNet, which brings together researchers working on the north-eastern and south-eastern peripheries of Europe who are interested in issues relating to the shifting meaning of ‘Europe’, particularly in relation to gender, sexuality and money.
