I am the coordinator of CESSMIR (Centre for the Social Study of Migration and Refugees). CESSMIR is an interdisciplinary centre within Ghent University dedicated to the social study of migration and refugees. Three key elements are central to the work of CESSMIR: interdisciplinarity, societal impact and participation (as a research topic, in research methods and as a way of enhancing societal impact).
I have a master in Special Needs Education and a PhD in pedagogical sciences. My PhD research was about integration an belonging in a multi- and intergenerational perspective, and also critically examined the concept of integration. After that, I coordinated the research project 'Childmove', that focused on the impact of flight experiences on the psychosocial wellbeing of unaccompanied refugee minors.
My research interests include psychosocial wellbeing, integration, unaccompanied refugee minors and families on the move. Furthermore, I am interested in and working on societal impact and participation.

Student of International Relations at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil. Developed the scientific initiation entitled “The relationship between the universality of the SUS and high-risk Venezuelans’ pregnancy”, published in the journal Lugar Comum. During this research, I analyzed the motivations that lead Venezuelan high-risk pregnant leave their country and come to Brazil, something that includes the use of the existing public health system (SUS) in this country. I was able to collect data showing the number of pregnant women who migrated to Brazil, to the state of Roraima, between 2016 and 2019, in addition to observing which public maternity hospitals they went to have the proper prenatal care and also the birth of their children. I was able to analyze the consequences of not guaranteeing a quality public health system in Venezuela, which caused malnutrition to women, lack of basic supplies in hospitals and, also, lack of prenatal care. Thus, when they arrived in Brazil, most of them presented greater health risks - demanding even more from the Brazilian public health system, which, in 2016, collapsed in the state of Roraima.

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
