Deze auteur houdt zich diepgaand bezig met de aard van samenwerking in hedendaags etnografisch onderzoek, wat de kern van zijn praktijk vormt. Hij is geïnteresseerd in het systematisch herarticuleren en opnieuw uitvinden van de normen en vormen van klassiek veldonderzoek en etnografisch schrijven in de sociaal/culturele antropologie. Zijn werk richt zich op pedagogische kaders voor het produceren van proefschriften in nieuwe thematische gebieden, en onderzoekt hoe de studie van elites een middel is geworden om een antropologie van hedendaagse verandering na te streven. Deze noodzaak om met experts en tegenhangers samen te werken, naast een interesse in het leven van subalternen, genereert de complexiteit van multi-site onderzoek, wat hem ertoe heeft aangezet diverse elitaire groepen in verschillende mondiale contexten te onderzoeken.
