Koreen conducts research with families in Botswana, on the effects of the AIDS epidemic and the raft of governmental and non-governmental interventions that have followed in its wake. As well as children and childhood, she is interested in the ways crisis creates kinship, and the links it illuminates between the family, the state, and transnational humanitarian and development work. Koreen is a Teaching Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and will soon be taking up a Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing at the University of Toronto.
