I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of International Relations of the University of Groningen (IRIO-RUG) and a researcher at RUG’s Migration Lab. Previously, I was a PhD Fellow in Philosophy of Law at Uppsala University with a 4-year grant from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. I defended my PhD, entitled The Human Right to Leave: But Whereto? in September 2022. I also hold a PhD from the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University. I have spent periods of research at the University of Ottawa, the University of Lisbon and Lund University. My research interests lie in the fields of political and legal philosophy, IR theory and the history of international law. My current research focuses on how the rights of climate migrants and internally displaced persons challenge territorial sovereignty and human rights law. I have taught and supervised students in several universities in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Sweden and the Netherlands for over 15 years in all subfields of IR as well as in legal and political theory and in migration ethics and law. 2018 saw the publication of my book Reinhold Niebuhr and International Relations Theory: Realism Beyond Hobbes by Routledge and I am now writing a second single-authored monograph on the language of natural rights as a security discourse.

I have been doing research on various aspects of migration in Finland. Most of my presonal research has dealt with religious associations, including their organisation processes and activities, as well their engagement with public authorities. In addition, I have collarorated in a number projects that have dealt with migrant integration, transnationalism, generations, governance, labour market questions and other ethnic minority issues. I am also interested in demographic data and population projections, in particular how can we estimate future levels of religous and ethnic diversity in western societies in order to evaluate the importance of current developments for future.
