Here’s her biography:
“I am a writer. I am best known for my critical take on the “prestige
economy”, my reporting on St. Louis,
my coverage of the 2016 election,
and my academic research on
authoritarian states in Central Asia. My best-selling essay collection, The
View From Flyover Country, was published in 2015.
“I am currently an op-ed columnist for the Globe and Mail, where
I focus on US
politics. I also am the US correspondent for the Dutch news outlet De Correspondent.
Previously I was an op-ed columnist for Al Jazeera English, where I
wrote about exploitation,
particularly in higher
education, the diminishing
opportunities of America’s youth, and gentrification. I
have also covered internet privacy,
political repression,
and how the media
shape public perception. My April 2013 article “The
wrong kind of Caucasian” is the most popular AJE op-ed of all time.
“I have also written for POLITICO,
The
Chronicle of Higher Education, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Quartz, Slate, The Atlantic, Medium, Radio
Free Europe, Opinio Juris, Alternet,
HRDCVR, POLITICO
Europe, The
Chicago Tribune, The
Baffler, Blue
Nation Review, Alive Magazine, Ethnography Matters, Registan.net, The Common Reader, The
New York Daily News, La

“In August 2013, Foreign Policy named
me one of “the 100 people you should be following on Twitter to make sense
of global events”. In October 2013, St. Louis Magazine profiled
me as one of 15 inspirational people under 35 in St. Louis. In September 2014,
The Riverfront Times named me the best
online journalist in St. Louis. In June 2017, St. Louis Magazine named me
the best journalist
in St. Louis.
“In addition to working as a journalist, I am a researcher and consultant. I
have a PhD in anthropology from Washington University in Saint
Louis and an MA in Central Eurasian Studies from Indiana University. Most of my work
focuses on the authoritarian states of the former Soviet Union and how the
internet affects political mobilization, self-expression, and trust.
“My research has been published in American
Ethnologist, Problems of
Post-Communism, Central
Asian Survey, Demokratizatsiya, Nationalities Papers, Social
Analysis, and the Journal
of Communication. I am a program associate for the Central Asia Program
at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington
University, and a research
associate at the Russian, East European and Eurasian Center at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“I am frequently interviewed by the media and have been a guest on NPR, MSNBC, Al
Jazeera, CBC News, BBC World Service and other broadcast outlets, and am a
recurring guest on the MSNBC show “AM Joy”. I have given talks all
over the world as an invited
speaker at academic conferences and forums on foreign policy,
politics, education and technology.
“I occasionally serve as an expert witness in asylum cases involving applicants
from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.”
