Research Interests

My research focuses on environment, economic life, and mobility. I am writing a book titled Managing Nature, Constructing the State: The Material Foundation of Soviet Empire in Tajikistan. It examines problems in transportation and commodity chains on land and water in southern Central Asia and across the USSR in the1920s and 1930s, including infrastructure construction, freightage markets, border landscapes, and the roles of horses and camels. This emphasis on the tangible leads me to engage with understandings of post-colonial economic growth, and Soviet geography, modernity, and time.
