I am Professor of Social Anthropology working mainly with questions related to migration and diversity.

My current research uses temporality as an analytical lense to examine power relations and experiences in irregular migration, a topic we develop in the edited volume Waiting and the Temporalities of Irregular Migration with Shahram Khosravi and Marry-Anne Karlsen. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with irregularized migrants in Marseille, I am currently writing a monograph with the working title Un/documented lives in Marseille: Temporality, Gender and Migration.

I worked for a number of years on gendered religious traditions, identities and practices among young Muslims in Norway and France, in a context of international migration, globalization and secular modernity. I also researched ‘secular formations’; looking at gender and sexuality in the legal and para-legal government of religious practices (such as female covering) in Norway and France. 

My work also includes the topics of prostitution, gender and migration, and  transnationalism and political mobilisation among young adults of minority background. In the PROTECT project, I focused on how the concept of vulnerability is used in the governance of asylum seekers in France.
