Postdoc

I am a political scientist and migration researcher at REMESO. I analyze return and readmission policies and develop alternatives. My research includes return migration, citizenship, political emotions, diaspora and transnationalism.

I am a political scientist and migration researcher, with an interdisciplinary academic background in economics and journalism. The main questions driving my research are related to why people migrate; how migration affects individuals, families, societies and economies; and how states formulate policies to facilitate or impede human mobility.

Teaching

My twelve years of undergraduate teaching have included designing, leading and conducting courses in academic writing and research methods. The courses I teach aim at developing the academic skills students need to succeed in a scholarly environment, including: critical thinking, text analysis, library work, research design, data collection, citation and referencing, conventions of academic writing – essay structure, coherence and cohesion, oral presentation, debate and reflection/peer evaluation. I am experienced in course design, curriculum mapping, as well as the production of teaching and assessment materials aligned with ECTS outcomes and objectives.
