I am a Lecturer in the Department of Communication and Internet Studies and a social anthropologist. I hold a PhD from the University of Cyprus, a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Greek Society and Culture from the University of Ioannina and a BA in Sociology from the University of Crete. I received merit-based scholarships for both my Masters and PhD studies.

My research interests combine a diverse range of themes and methodologies, with particular emphasis on the construction of space and place, citizenship, memory, ethnic and national identities and migration. In terms of methodology, my experience includes ethnography and [...]digital ethnography, multimodality in anthropology as well as quantitative and qualitative social research methods and techniques.

I have conducted long-term ethnographic research on the islands of Lesbos and Samos (Greece), along the Greek-Albanian border (Epirus, Gjirokastër and Korçë) and in Limassol, Cyprus.
