Iscte-IUL (Instituto Universitário de Lisboa)
Ph.D. Fellow
Lisbon

I am currently enrolled in the second year of the Doctoral Program in Psychology at ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon. In 2019, I have obtained a Master of Science Degree in Psychology of Intercultural Relations at ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon. I possess academic and professional experience in social psychology, intercultural relations, media, and socio-cultural communication. My research is focused on subtle discrimination, microaggressions, gender inequality, and intersectionality. I have also worked in the areas of migration and global education. In 2018 and in 2020, I have worked for the International Organization for Migration in Brussels, Belgium, and conducted a project aimed to promote and develop the application of culturally competent approaches in the context of IOM Migration Health Assessment Services, with fieldwork in a IOM Clinic in Turkey. In 2020, I obtained the Certificate of Pedagogical Competencies (CPP), issued by the Portuguese IEFP, which allows me to practice as a certified trainer in Portugal. Currently, my Ph.D. project aims to understand how subtle and blatant forms of discrimination affect the acculturation experiences of immigrant women in Portugal.

University of West of Scotland
Senior Lecturer, Programme Leader of Social Sciences
Glasgow

My research aims to support a strong social justice agenda that addresses social inequalities among traditionally marginalised group, in particular migrant communities. In my work, I have drawn upon theoretical and methodological insights from intersectionality, migration studies and community relations. My research concerns two general themes concerning active citizenship and citizenship rights in the context of ‘superdiversity’ with particular focus on rural areas and the theme of integration and migrants’ settlement practices from a multidisciplinary and policy- focused perspective.

University of Warsaw
Adjunct
Warszawa

I am assistant professor at Faculty of Education, University of Warsaw. At the same time I am PhD candidate at Faculty of Sociology, University of Warsaw. In my research I try to combine civics, migration studies and critical theory (gender and postcolonial) on mezo- and microlevel. Especially I am interested in minorities - majority groups relations on the individual level (biographical research on refugee woman in Poland), institutional level (coNcultural practices among Ukrainian students in Poland) and civic attitudes among migrants in Poland.

London School of Economics
Doctoral student
London

I'm a doctoral student at the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE), Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics. Using a mixed methods approach, my research examines the needs, experiences and outcomes of children in relation to the financial support provided to families under Asylum Support - a parallel system of state support for asylum-seekers in the UK. My research is funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

My wider research focus is on poverty and inequality within the immigration and asylum context, and so far I have focused on policies which restrict access to mainstream social security benefits for children in migrant families referred to as 'no recourse to public funds' / NRPF policies.

Prior to starting my PhD, I worked at The Children's Society leading the organisation's policy, influencing and research work on poverty and inequality, with expertise in asylum, immigration and trafficking policy. During this time, I managed a number of research projects including on poverty among children and young people subject to immigration control; legal aid for separated children's immigration matters; and the impact of family debt on children's mental health and well-being.

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).

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.
