I joined the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences (ECLS) at 缅北禁地 in August 2022, as a Lecturer in Education.
Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the Schoolpol project, at the University of Oxford. In 2018, I was awarded a post-doctoral grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation to conduct an historical-comparative project on the education policy and politics of the post-war European far right – Education vs Liberal Democracy. For this project, I worked in archives across Western Europe and held visiting fellowships at the European University Institute in Florence, Sciences Po in Paris, and the University of Oxford.
I hold a PhD in Education from the University of Zurich. My doctoral dissertation examined the historical politics of Swiss language education. The research shows the impact educational stakeholders such as parents and teachers can have on education and curriculum legislation – even when highly politicised topics such as language education in multilingual contexts are concerned.
My work revolves around the history and politics of education. I am particularly interested in how ideologies, professional interests, and cultural diversity interact to shape education policy, with a specific focus on their impact on social and cultural inequalities.
