RESEARCH INTERESTS
In the realm of academic exploration, my research journey embarks on a captivating voyage through the intricate tapestry of human stories and societal dynamics. I am deeply engrossed in the art of biographical narrative research, weaving together the threads of individual experiences to construct compelling narratives that shed light on the human condition.
Identity and belonging are themes that beckon my curiosity, prompting me to explore how individuals and communities form their sense of self and connection in an ever-evolving world. My lens widens to encompass the global stage, where I explore the complexities of transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, and migrations, unravelling the intricate web of human movement and cultural exchange in Europe and beyond.
As an advocate for human rights and a justice seeker, I scrutinise the global landscape for inequalities that demand attention and reform. My research extends into global development and civil society, seeking pathways to create a fairer world.
I am willing to consider supervising new PhD students within my expertise.
Prospective PhD students should already have competitive research proposals and an idea about possible funding sources.
