I am an anthropologist with research interests in the past and present of socialism, transnational and cross-border connections across Eurasia, and indigeneity in northeast Asia. I completed my PhD in Anthropology at the University of Cambridge in 2017, and before joining Manchester in 2020 held postdoctoral research positions at Hokkaido University in Japan and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
My first book Mirrorlands (Hurst, 2019) is an anthropological and historical account of life in the borderlands between China and Russia, which argues that senses of natiohood and identity in each major power have emerged in reference to the other. My current work in progress is a book about how socialist projects in China, the Soviet Union and North Korea have shaped local people's understandings of time and 'progress'.
I am also a regular host on the podcast New Books in East Asian Studies.
