Anna’s research critically examines the Russian shadow fleet as a gendered and increasingly militarised economic formation. Situated within the CargoCrime project, the project investigates how sanctions-driven maritime transport reconfigures energy flows while generating uneven social, economic, and environmental risks. Focusing on maritime labour hierarchies, militarised and masculinised labour formations, she aims to uncover the disguised systems of social reproduction that bear the security and financial risks, as well as the increasingly blurred boundaries between civilian and military domains.
