I have over 17 years of experience as a sociologist of migration and gender (Central European University, University of Warwick), a policy analyst (European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre) and Migration and Freedom of Movement Adviser (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights). Alongside with my research and policy work, I designed innovative ways of communicating scientific knowledge and engaging policymakers, civil society and young people in strategic and forward-looking debates about human rights, migration and integration. My latest achievement is the development of Destination Europe, an innovative educational and training tool / serious game about migration and integration governance for young people and migration practitioners. Check it out at destinationeurope.uni.lu (co-created with the European Migration Network).

I currently hold an ESRC scholarship for my PhD research at the University of Birmingham, UK. My project examines the experiences of social class of African international (SADC) students at South African universities. My research interests cover such topics as migration; regional cooperation; race, social class and inequality; aspiration and higher education; identity and belonging. My research focuses on Southern Africa and I have a long experience of living and working in the region. I'm also interested in (and have experience of) other regions of Africa as well as South Asia and the Caribbean.
I completed my BA in Development Studies with Politics (IR) and African Studies and MA in Development Studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland. I have previously held scholarships at the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden and Sciences-Po in Paris, France. I also have a BA in Social Work and have experience of working with migrants.

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.
