Current Projects

  • Book Project: Uncommon-Wealth: Examining the currency of gender in Afghanistan
  • My current research focuses on the geopolitics and geo-economics of gender, security, and violence. This project will examine the gendered geographies of security and violence through three interrelated aspects of bio-politics: biometrics, bio-technologies, and gender-based military operations. I am interested in understanding the interconnected links between the various technologies associated with preventative security, enacting or mitigating violence, and reconstructing bodies injured by violence. For this project I seek to examine the ways in which bodies are differentially classified and categorized by States and corporations through the use of bio-technologies and the how these classifications are gendered and spatially organized. This project will also examine the ways in which bio-technologies are used to reconstruct the injured body and how these reconstructions create new forms of political meaning, social value, and economic opportunities.
