Research interests

My research takes a political studies perspective to explore issues of citizenship, belonging, and intersectionality (incl. migration, gender, and race/ethnicity), with a primary focus on Europe. Additionally, I am interested in developing more inclusive approaches to and research methods within political sciences.

I am currently collaborating with external colleagues on two related projects. As part of Reading Through project (2022–), alongside (Yonsei University, South Korea) and (LSE, UK), we seek to challenge and unlearn disciplinary mastery, Western-centrism, and patriarchy applying a feminist and decolonial lens to political science. With (Royal Holloway, UK) and (University of British Columbia, Canada), we examine the interplay of gender and representation in political excutives (2021–).

1) Co-Editor of (PSR) - one of the flagship journals of the   (PSA)
