I study how refugees and other migrants who are residing in prolonged precarious conditions of legal and social uncertainty beyond Europe make sense of and navigate their situated and digitally connected lives. My approach is ethnographic, as I am interested in how technological changes play out in the everyday experience of people who, under violent or dire conditions, seek refuge. I am inspired by and dedicated to decolonializing research practices. My monograph ´Mediated Lives – Waiting and Hope among Iraqi refugees in Jordan´ hyperlink was published by Berghahn Books in January 2022. https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/twigtmediated I currently am employed as postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Criminology and Sociology of Law (IKRS). For the REF-ARAB project – funded for by the Norwegian Research Council – I explore refugee legal aid practices in the Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI).
