She is the author of the monograph “The Displacement of Borders among Russian Koreans in Northeast Asia” (2018) and has published research articles on issues such as migration in post-socialist contexts, migrational domestic agriculture, diaspora politics, Sino-Russian border spaces, and local responses to development projects in borderlands.
