Bio

At the intersection of migration and cultural studies, my research examines the embodied dimensions of diasporic culture and transnational connectivity. My most recent project focuses on the culture of food and eating as it is shaped by the long-term and long-distance connections between communities in Chile and Palestine. Additionally, I enjoy exploring new forms of critical qualitative inquiry, particularly in global, culinary, and digital worlds.
