Election statement 2015: My research interests cover the area of anthropology of debt, communication and web technologies, online ethnographies, alternative media, sexuality and sensoriality in new forms of politics in Europe. My research looks at the tension between connectedness and localisation of emotions and senses (for example, economic localisations of debt, sensoriality of crisis, connectedness of web technologies in gender and teaching). I have a particular interest in the visualisation of these themes and the examination of alternative political temporalities. My latest publication is on the theme of the ethnographic interview, the heterochonic compositions of ethnographic encounters with children from fieldwork carried out in Catalonia. I have been a member of EASA since I was a postgraduate student in 1997. At Regent’s University I also worked as a senior research assistant for the Institute of Contemporary European Studies where I promoted a series of conferences on European sub-nationalisms, and supported ethnographic research in Europe and the dissemination of anthropology.
