Delighted to present our team’s progress at the HESPRI project mid-term meeting with all partners in Brussels on March 22.

2023

In September 2023, I organised and hosted our interdisciplinary, international academic workshop on Trans-European perspectives on migrants’ social navigation of uncertainty: An interdisciplinary approach in Vera Anstey Room at LSE. I was grateful to present and discuss my talk on ‘Parcel-sending in Moldovan transnational families as a practice of navigating uncertainty through recent crises.’ A big thank you to the participants and our excellent admin team at LSE!

In July 2023, I am honoured to chair the Beyond the State: Transnational Solidarities in Response to the Ukrainian Refugee Crisis in Europe panel and present my talk on ‘Parcelled Aid: Transnational Responses to the Ukrainian Refugee Crisis in Moldova’ at the 20th annual IMISCOE conference in Warsaw.

Delighted to present my research at LSE Friday Seminars in March 2023! My talk is titled ‘Moldo-Vans: Sociality, infrastructures and care in Moldovan transnational life,’ looking forward to an engaging discussion.

In February 2023, I organised and chaired the roundtable on Transnational exchanges in times of uncertainty and crisis at the American University of Moldova. I want to thank all the participants representing Moldovan and international governmental and non-governmental organisations who engaged in meaningful conversations around the role of informal transnational networks in providing aid for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova!

I will be talking about my ESRC-funded project on parcel-sending in times of uncertainty and crisis, and my career in anthropology at Mircea Eliade Lyceum in Chisinau on January 27th, 2023. Excited to be here!
