Biography:
I am interested in
questions of mobility, security, and globalization. My research spans the
continuum of forced migration, from conflict zones and refugee camps to refugee
resettlement in North America. Theoretically, I explore the links between
critical geopolitics and feminist geopolitics to hone more accountable
epistemology. My work focuses upon international humanitarian aid in contexts of
conflict, displacement, and most recently, the 2004 tsunami.
My first
book, Managing Displacement: Refugees and the Politics of Humanitarianism
(University of Minnesota Press, 2000), explores the respatialization of asylum
in a neoliberal context. As co-editor of Sites of Violence: Gender and
Conflict Zones (University of California Press,2004), I explore the
securitization of civilians affected by war in a post-9-11 world.
