Research Fellow
I am an anthropologist of politics and religion, exploring memory, place and belonging in contexts shaped by nationalist violence, forced displacement and environmental change. My first book Waiting for Elijah (Berghahn, 2018/21) draws on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Bosnian Dinaric highlands, exploring interfaith relations, sacred geography and the temporality of home among post-war returnees. My forthcoming book Underworlding tracks cross-species memory tactics in the watery subterranean Dinaric karst, with focus on a sacred sinking river and genocidal erasure of syncretic cosmo-ecologies. Before joining CSPM, I taught at Cambridge, SOAS, Bristol, Frankfurt and Goldsmiths. I also lead collaborative research on Trans Cosmologies and Shared Sacred Landscapes.
