I am an urban ethnographer with a background in anthropology, development geography, and mobility studies. My work focuses on the unequal distribution of mobility, connectivity, and circulation and how this relates to projects of urban future-making. I specifically look at the legacy of (colonial) modernity in shaping urban trajectories and imaginaries. Previously, I carried out research on cycle-rickshaw mobilities and infrastructural mega-projects in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In my current postdoc position at UvA, I look at the commoning of accessibility in the urban outskirts of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area as part of the COMMON_ACCESS project.
I also serve as an editor for the anthropological journal Etnofoor.
