Biography
I am a PhD candidate and Term Lecturer in Sociology at SFU. In my ongoing doctoral research, I follow Afghan migrants in their 鈥榗landestine鈥� migration journeys from Afghanistan to Iran, Turkey, and (West) Europe, or what these migrants refer to as 鈥渢he Game.鈥� I use ethnographic methods to explore their experiences of borders, 鈥榠llegality鈥�, and labour before, through the course of, and after 鈥渢he Game.鈥� My research areas are 鈥榠rregular鈥� migration and labour, refuge and asylum, and border violence with a focus on memory, refugee (political) subjectivity, and forced migration temporalities (waiting and uncertainty).
