Research Description
My research interests currently focus on the relationship between experiences of hustling, or participation in informal and precarious labor, and self-understandings of identity, specifically gender. Relatedly, I am also interested in the ways individuals embody specific identities to evoke certain affects and make hustling opportunities available.
