Dr. Nelli Sargsyan is an anthropologist. As a feminist, Sargsyan situates herself at the disciplinary intersections of political anthropology, queer studies, and affect studies, among others. In her scholarly-poetic work and teaching Sargsyan is interested in stretching disciplinary and genre boundaries to explore the multi-sensory possibilities of feminist world-making. Sargsyan's most recent research focuses on reproductive justice in conditions of militarization and life-sustaining relationships across the borders of states and species. Sargsyan’s work has appeared in academic journals such as Feminist Anthropology, Transforming Anthropology, Political and Legal Anthropology Review (PoLAR), Women and Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, as well as on online platforms such as Ms. Magazine, Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB), and Anthropology Now.
