Her ethnographic research focuses on work migration from Thailand to the agriculture sector in Israel, while addressing issues of return migration, migration regimes, migrants' unions and labor rights struggles, visual imaginaries and archives of mobilities and identities of the people on the move and their communities.

She is a former scholarship holder from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung in Germany.
