      Research Interests

      My PhD thesis focused on the development of logistics infrastructure in Georgia. Through an ethnographic analysis of the ongoing infrastructural reconstruction of one key site, I analyse the country鈥檚 logistical turn as at once a discursive and material formation. My field site was the emerging port town of Anaklia. Situated on the Black Sea Coast, at the border with the de facto state of Abkhazia this village has, for over a decade, been at the centre of ambitious national and foreign investment aimed at turning this once peripheral coastal village into a trade and transport hub with a global reach.

      This development, supported by the Georgian state and managed by a private multinational corporation was commonly referred to as 鈥渢he project of the century鈥 and understood to be vital for the country鈥檚 transformation into a transit corridor, an element of the Belt and Road Initiative that would forge new connections between Europe and Asia. Over the course of the ethnography, however, the project came to a halt.

      By charting the development and eventual demise of this ambitious infrastructural effort, my research brings together a theoretical and political focus on the geography of logistical capitalism with ethnographic attention to practices of future-making. My research spans the fields of critical logistics, feminist geography, critical geopolitics and anthropology and geography of infrastructure.
