Through ethnography, I seek to understand migrants’ everyday and working lives – their experiences, aspirations, and economic actions – in relation to broader social and historical forces. Geographically my work focuses on Peru, the United States, Norway, Egypt and Sudan.

Key words: Migration, work, entrepreneurship, gender, ethnography
