Multimedia journalism and documentaries, immigration, juggling
I am currently working as a research assistant in the new Chair of Architecture and Urban Design at the Swiss Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). I am managing the office's multimedia and IT work, and this spring I will co-teach a class on the intersection of urbanism and cinema. The professors I work under also run an interdisciplinary design firm called Urban-Think Tank (www.u-tt.com), for which I serve as the Associate Director of Films. We are currently producing several short films and a photo book about urban issues and solutions in the global south.
My article, "Searching for a New Sanctuary Movement" was published in Dissent Magazine. I used the research from my senior seminar paper and Urban Studies Honors class as the basis for this article.
