My research combines a focus on Inner Asia, mainly Mongolia, with a general interest in anthropological theory. I have always been interested in a variety of subjects – exchange/sociality, economic anthropology, postsocialism, magic/witchcraft, gossip, paranoia and political culture – but my research has almost always, in one way or the other, also been concerned with understanding processes of (radical postsocialist) transition. Besides my long-term interest in Mongolia, I have also previously carried out research on issues related to the Uyghurs and Western China.

I am currently Deputy Head of Department, Head of Center for Comparative Culture Studies and PI of a 3-year research project on “Escalations: A Comparative Ethnographic Study of Accelerating Change” (funded by the Danish Research Council for the Humanities). In this project, we aim to theorize sudden acceleration change through ethnographic studies in Denmark, Mongolia, India and the Middle East.
