    Biography

    I completed my PhD at Birkbeck in 2025. My research focuses on minority nationalism, ethnic mobilization, and resistance, with particular attention to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus. I am also developing research on base politics in Okinawa and the representation of politics and power in video games.

    Research overview

    My research to date has focused on developing theories of sustained minority ethnic mobilization. These theories challenge common assumptions that ethnic mobilization is a linear process, instead framing it as a complex, evolving phenomenon that can, in some cases, persist indefinitely. I have conducted fieldwork across the South Caucasus and Romania. I am now developing research on anti-base political mobilization in Okinawa, alongside political analysis in video game studies.
