Theoretically, I am following debates in Science and Technology Studies, comparative history of anthropological concepts (with a focus on Arctic anthropology), human-animal relations and domestication, cultural approaches to kinship, social impact of energy, and indigenous religious revitalization. The geographical areas covered by my present research are the Russian Arctic where I work with Samoyedic groups such as, Nenets, Enets, Nganasans, and Selkups, and South Siberia where I work with Altaians and Shors.
