Research associate
Austrian Institute for International Affairs
Vienna, Austria
At the oiip in Vienna, I study protest culture and activism, social inclusion, and civic action of Ukrainian migrants and refugees in EU countries.
I am a social scientist holding a master’s degree in political science from the University of Vienna with work experience in research and project work. My research interests lie at the intersection of social movements and migration. At the oiip I focus on protest culture and activism, social inclusion, and civic action of Ukrainian migrants and refugees in EU countries, especially in Austria and the Czech Republic.
Prior to this I gained professional experience as a research assistant at the University of Vienna and the Danube University Krems in the field of innovative approaches to deliberative democracy practices. I also supported a research project on refugee integration pathways in Austria at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD).
My organisation
The oiip – The Austrian Institute for International Affairs is an independent research institute that was founded in 1979 and is committed to fundamental research in the field of international politics. The oiip is Austria’s leading institute on international politics and positions itself at the juncture between academic and policy-oriented research.
