Research interests: Mobility, subjectivity, space, gender, and sexuality; transnational intimacies; immigration; tourism and travel; youth and youthhood; community-based research; urban and transnational anthropology; heterosexuality; ethnography.

Sue Frohlick’s scholarship currently explores ethnographic writing, the anthropology of sound, and the mobilities and politics of tourism, reproduction, and migration. She is completing a book manuscript, Bloom Spaces: Reproduction and Tourism on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, as well as publications on urban mobility and the uncertainties of settlement for racialized migrant youth in Winnipeg. Her most recent research takes place in the Okanagan Valley to examine summer tourism lake and highway sounds and noise and their implications for anthropogenic climate crises. She also spends her time these days as the co-editor-in-chief of Tourist Studies and the associate editor of Anthropologica.
