Background
My research is about knowledge-production and policy-making in the area of post-immigrant integration and citizenship. I am interested in the interaction between state regulation and disruptive agency, the politics of crisis and the circulation of far-right ideas.
Before joining Newcastle, I held fellowships at the European University Institute and at the Centre for Ethnicity and Citizenship, University of Bristol, and taught political sociology at the University of Lincoln.
I am currently the Degree Programme Director for UG Sociology at Newcastle.
