Much of my work focuses on contributing to the development of concepts and methods for the spatial assessment of vulnerability and risk in the context of environmental transformation. I have conducted research in Congo, Senegal, Algeria, India & Ethiopia and I have significant experience in population-based surveys and data analysis in the Global South. I am currently working on the role of environmental and climate change in driving migration in Ethiopia.

My research in this field is based on studies on coaches' migration. Over the past years, I have been studying the perceptions of migrant coaches in relation to their recruitment process, motivations to migrate and migration experience as a whole. I have also investigated the patterns and networks of Portuguese coaches’ migration and examined how foreign coaches are viewed through media discourse. I have been studying the coaches’ immigration to the United Kingdom by analysing the foreign and native coaches’ views on migration. With the support from the UEFA Research Grant 2017/18, my research in sports migration also provided insight for cultural intelligence in the sports context and informed about the cross-cultural training needs of football coaches to work with people from different countries. I was awarded with the FIFA Scholarship 2022/23 to implement and evaluate a cross-cultural training programme for football coaches. My research interests are also in coach education, learning and professional development by examining the sports coaches knowledge and competences.

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.
