Research project at ODID
At ODID, I will work on finalizing my book of undocumented migration trajectories from Afghanistan to Germany. The book is based on a multi-sited ethnography conducted in Iran, Turkey, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Germany. I look forward to joining the RSC community and engaging with the academic discussions there.
