PhD Research
I am currently conducting fieldwork in the Cairo. My research focuses on ideas and interactions between Egyptians and foreigners. It investigates how different actors in the Egyptian capital know and learn about people they consider different. It also aims to study how (if) actors learn to be affected by, feel for or ‘stay numb’, i.e. not feel, for others in a global world of brief meetings.
