Sabrina LILLEBY recently completed graduate studies in Gender Studies at the American University in Cairo with a specialization in Gendered Political Economies. Her thesis meditated on the labouring lives of migrants employed as domestic workers in Cairo and was an attempt at re-thinking a range of naturalised ideas about the domestic work market in the city. A xenophile by nature, Sabrina has previously studied Political Science in Canada and China. She was born in the cold north of Norway. Her research interests involve migration, gender, labor, the state and affect theory. However, the red thread that runs through all of her thinking is social change, as she tries to understand how we may come together as a multitude. Nurturing an equal love for theory and ethnography, Sabrina prefers to study the world in the intersection between the two. As a fellow at CILAS, she teaches in the Social Sciences.
