My research centers on the anthropology of forced migration, development, and time in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Jordan. I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Sheffield Institute for Global Sustainable Development, conducting participatory action research on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Za'tari camp for the GCRF-funded project, COVID-19 PPE & Refugees. I also consult on development programs across the Middle East.
