Her research focuses on international refugee law, international human rights law, and international environmental law, in light of the principle of human dignity, and their applicability to migration as an adaptation strategy in the context of environmental factors. She is particularly interested in forced migration and migration as adaptation, and has previously researched the three major regional refugee frameworks (EU, Central America and Africa) in relation to people fleeing environmental disasters, conflict and violence. She has teaching experience in Law and Political Philosophies, Public Law in the UK and EU, Foundations of International Law, and Advanced International Law.
