• Environmental Studies (the Anthropocene, infrastructure, urban environments, wetland landscapes)
• Economic Anthropology (the political economy of capitalism and socialism, uneven development, property, labor, class)
• Eastern Europe (Croatia, Serbia)

I will be working on the project “Infrastructure, Political Economy, and Human-Environment Relations in Belgrade Wetlands” during my Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Cologne. The broad question I am asking is how urban infrastructural projects have shaped relationships with and discourses about wetlands in Belgrade, Serbia, over the past century. I consider how the urban environment is managed in the context of anthropogenic climate change, and how this process (re)produces social inequality for the affected populations. I aim to identify and analyze competing ideas and practices of relating to wetland landscapes at the level of broad political-economic regimes, discourses, expert and lay knowledge, and political interests.
