Supervision Stephanie Hobbis

I am a political anthropologist with a geographic focus on coastal, marine, small island environments and a thematic interest in the essentially messy, awkward and often frictional everyday dimensions of global order-making in weak states and (post)conflict environments. My current work explores the material dimensions of foreign state-building and development; ranging from the politics of fashion to road infrastructures to electoral technologies.
