Questo autore è profondamente impegnato nella natura della collaborazione nella ricerca etnografica contemporanea, che costituisce il nucleo della sua pratica. È interessato alla riarticolazione e reinvenzione sistematica delle norme e delle forme del lavoro sul campo classico e della scrittura etnografica nell'antropologia sociale/culturale. Il suo lavoro si concentra sui quadri pedagogici per la produzione di tesi di laurea in nuove aree tematiche, esplorando come lo studio delle élite sia diventato un mezzo per perseguire un'antropologia del cambiamento contemporaneo. Questa necessità di lavorare con esperti e controparti, insieme a un interesse per la vita dei subalterni, genera le complessità della ricerca multi-sito, che lo ha portato a indagare vari gruppi d'élite in diversi contesti globali.
