Anita H. F谩bos is an anthropologist who studies how people who experience displacement and forced migration think about and organize their mobile lives. She has lived, worked, and conducted research together with diasporic Sudanese Muslims and other forced migrants in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Her research spans ethnic, racial, and national projects of exclusion, translocal mobilities and network-building practiced by people on the move, and the new forms of social cohesion transforming our societies. F谩bos is especially interested in cities both as places of displacement and sites for mobile livelihoods and is developing approaches to urban sustainability that recognize and incorporate multi-sited belonging.
