Research
My background is primarily in empirical field research using qualitative, participatory, peer-based and reciprocal social research methods. I also conduct desk-based research (mixed methods) with a focus on migration, security, border violence, and gendered impacts. I have designed and managed numerous surveys and assessments using qualitative and quantitative methods in line with rights-based, trauma-informed and child-friendly approaches with a focus on feminist principles and an intersectional lens.
