My early ethnographic researched focused on the design of digital infrastructure in refugee shelters in Germany. I have also collaborated with researchers in informatics to develop so-called cultural probes for participatory technology design with elderly citizens. In 2019 I co-organized ethnographic field campuses in St. Louis, Missouri and New Orleans, Louisiana, and carried out field research in Port Arthur, Texas. In 2020-21, I did preliminary fieldwork in Taiwan, focusing on Formosa Plastics plant communities in Yunlin County and Kaohsiung.
