Outsmarting sanctions

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2012 the UN Security Council and the European Union bolstered US economic sanctions on Iran, disembedding the country's economy from financial markets. Since then, the sanctions have radically devalued Iran's currency, leading Iranians to seek a viable standard of value elsewhere. They have done so through ghachagh (fugitive) configurations

Deadly Lifeworlds Meet Palliative Politics: Struggle in Circulation

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 2326-2348, November 2025.
Abstract This paper locates acute and ongoing crises of coloniality and ecology within struggles over circulation that are anchored in infrastructure.

The Flooding of Lagash (Iraq): Evidence for Urban Destruction Under Lugalzagesi, the King of Uruk and Umma

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution remote sensing, magnetometry, and trench stratigraphy identify a significant flood event at Lagash (modern Tell al‐Hiba) during the late Early Dynastic period (ca. 2400–2350 BC). Satellite imagery and magnetometry reveal a 90‐meter‐wide meander belt—3–15 times broader than documented canals—adjacent to primary temple districts.
