AREA OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research and teaching focus broadly on questions of political/legal anthropology (sovereignty, state, war, international law, coercion, political authority), capitalism (value, globalization, money, property/privatization) and representation (spectacle, symbolization, visuality). My most recent ethnographic project focuses on the legitimate and illegitimate forms of political and legal authority that emerged during the transition to capitalism in the former USSR.
