Short presentation

I am Assistant Professor in Global Mobility Law at the MOBILE Centre of Excellence. My research takes an international legal theoretical approach to explore foundational issues of the structuring of international law and international legal normative change. I work across a number of legal domains, including general public international law, international migration law, international human rights law, international economic law, and international law and technology.

My current research focuses on:

• the infrastructuring of international law
• the application of mobilities theory to understand international law
• the use of empirical techniques to analyse processes of legal normative change

Prior to joining MOBILE, I completed a LLM in Public International Law at the University of Amsterdam, and my PhD at the iCourts Centre of Excellence at the University of Copenhagen, on the subject of the influence of legal scholarship on the development of international law.

I have published widely in leading international law journals and have co-edited special issues, firstly in the Nordic Journal of International Law on Nordic approaches to interdisciplinary international law, and secondly in the German Law Journal on Legal Infrastructures. I am also currently developing a monograph based on my PhD thesis.

I am course co-ordinator and lecturer for the courses Legal Reasoning and Argumentation and International Migration Law. I am an organizer of the PhD course on Social Sciences Methods for Interdisciplinary Legal Studies, developed in collaboration with the Geneva Graduate Institute International Law Department and the Central European University Department of Legal Studies. I also lead the cross-faculty Research Group on Advanced Legal Methods.
