I am a linguistic anthropologist and Postdoctoral Research Affiliate at the School of Anthropology and Museum of Ethnography, University of Oxford, where I also successfully completed my PhD (DPhil) in 2021.
My research explores the impacts of Germany’s state-sanctioned language-integration requirements on newcomers’ socioeconomic (im)mobility. In so doing, my work addresses the lingua-temporal dimensions of migration, displacement and policy-in-practice, exploring themes of temporal disruption, uncertainty, waiting, stuckness and boredom.
My ongoing work is also concerned with the relationship between language proficiency requirements and newcomer access to the German labour market, exploring how underlying societal expectations for linguistic integration, as well as bureaucratic and administrative procedures, intersect with newcomers’ own decision-making and future-building.
My research has been funded be the School of Anthropology and Museum of Ethnography, Oxford.
Most recently, I joined the Department of Anthropology at Princeton University as a Visiting Student Research Collaborator (fall/winter 2019).
