Research Interests
I am broadly interested in transboundary relations. Specifically, my research focuses on examining transboundary water relations from a political-economy perspective in the Fergana Valley, a densely populated region divided between the modern states of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. By studying water, livelihoods, climate, and power relations, I hope to unveil who has access to and control over water and other crucial resources in the region.
