I am a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute, specializing in citizenship studies, political theory, and feminist philosophy.
In one of my current research streams I study the intersection between reproductive rights and citizenship status acquisition. I am also working on a project that applies different feminist approaches to analyze ‘citizenship’ in international law. Some of my further interests include democratic theory and the study of electoral rights.
My chosen topics of study reflect a broader goal in pursuing research that feeds into policy processes at the national and international level. I have co-authored several policy reports for the European Commission as well as for national governments and institutions.
I completed a BA (Honours) Political Science and Minor History at Concordia University in 2013 and a Master of Public Policy Collaborative Program in Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto in 2016. I then went on to work for the Government of Canada and the OECD.
In 2023, I was awarded my Ph.D from the Berlin Graduate School of Social Sciences at Humboldt University. My dissertation asks who has a right to citizenship by looking at the content, practice, and framework of citizenship regimes in states primarily located in the global North.
