My research interests are mainly within the anthropology of migration, with a special focus on refugees and diasporic practices. I am also interested in social memory, gender and home in relation to violent political conflict and flight. My most recent research focuses on the encounters between newly arrived Palestinian refugees and staff at the Swedish Public Employment Service. I am in particularly interested in how the refugees’ experiences of violence are dealt with in those meetings and in the moral issues and bureaucratic strategies that emerge.

I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Gothenburg. My doctoral thesis from 2009 builds on a one-year ethnographic fieldwork in a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank. In short, the thesis dealt with the many ways that the camp inhabitants tried to maintain continuity, morality and a normal order despite repeated emergencies during the second intifada. I have also done research about Danes and Swedes with a Palestinian background and their diasporic practices, while being a post doc at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen. In addition, I have carried out fieldwork in UN-run schools for Palestinian refugee children, focusing on processes of gendered identity formations. I have also worked as a researcher and teacher at the Centre of Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University.

Having studied skilled migration, return migration and diaspora repatriation in the context of my home country, Armenia, I have now embarked on an academic boat in Istanbul, Turkey. My doctoral research focuses on the modern labor migration of Armenians to Turkey in the context of the Eurasian migration system and post-Soviet social transformations. Being based in Istanbul, I also take a chance of exploring the indigenous Armenian community and their experiences as a minoritised group in Turkey.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Erfurt, in the Department of Media and Communication Studies. My current research focuses on the role of digital media in the construction of political knowledge among young Turkish immigrants in Germany, as they navigate their integration process. By examining the ways in which these individuals use digital media to form and maintain their egocentric networks, I aim to shed light on the complex relationships between media, migration, political integration, and constructing political knowledge. With a passion for media and communication studies, I am dedicated to advancing our understanding of these important and timely topics.
