I am Deputy Director at the Centre for European Studies, Australian National University, working at the intersection of migration, memory studies and international relations. 

I am particularly interested in migrant and diaspora cultures, mediation of memory and constructions of the self within the contexts of migration, displacement and transcultural belonging. My work also engages the politics of memory and the role of culture in international relations. My regional interests encompass European migration to Australia, Central and Eastern Europe, and EU external relations.

I am the Project Director of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence Leadership Emerging from Migration, Ethnicity, Race and Gender.

Before joining the ANU, I was Assistant Professor at the Faculty of International Studies and Politics, University of Lodz (Poland). As Visiting Research Fellow I worked at the University of Ghent (Belgium), Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), University of Bamberg (Germany), Vaxjo University (Sweden), Monash University (Australia) and the Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies, Teikyo University (Netherlands).
