She has been researching care work and migration in Turkey, spending time in the field with workers, employers, workers’ relatives and bureaucrats. Through this research, she will explore how Armenian domestic care workers experience “illegality” while in Turkey. Moreover, she asks how cultural understandings of gender influence this experience. In order to support this research, Armagan has been chosen as a 2016 New Scholar Associate.
