Hello, my name is Jodie
I am interested in the ways people connect across space
What did it mean to be a transnational family?
Separation from one's loved ones? An expansion of economic options? A more international point of view? Access to foods and materials from abroad? Increased financial burden?
My research seeks to understand how the answer to this question has changed for transnational families living between Zanzibar and Oman over the course of the twentieth century.
