Forskning

Jeg er en antropolog med feltarbeidserfaring fra Fiji, Tonga, Australia og Azerbaijan og et vidtrekkende interessefelt innenfor både den sosial- og kulturantropologiske tradisjonen. Gjennom publikasjonene mine har jeg i stor grad utforsket hvordan mennesker produserer mening og sosiale relasjoner i etnografiske kontekster og omstendigheter som oppleves som fundamentalt ustabile og uforutsigbare. I prosessen har jeg prøvd å si noe generelt om sosiale kategorier og prosesser som blant annet kjønn, modernitet, etnisitet, kropp og kroppsliggjøring, verdi, tro, tid og historie. Jeg er i tillegg interessert i etnografi som tekst, samt ulike måter å formidle antropologisk viten på.
