Research interests
I am a Lecturer in Identity Politics and Co-Director of the Political Analysis and Governance research group at Swansea University. I see myself as an interdisciplinary scholar of racism, diversity and human rights, with a particular interest in employment and education as social and political fields. My work is mainly driven by a will to unveil the institutional sources of racial and other inequalities, as well as to theorise legal and political action toward social justice. My research has been published in various collective volumes and Scopus-indexed journals such as Ethnic and Racial Studies, Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power, Journal of Muslims in Europe, Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture, and Nordic Journal of Human Rights. My forthcoming book Human Rights, Multiculturalism and Anti-Racist Policy is under contract with Palgrave Macmillan.
I hold an Honorary Research Associate position at the University of Bristol, where I have worked on large-scale projects examining justice from the perspective of migrants and minorities (Horizon 2020 project ETHOS, 2017-2019), policy approaches to cultural diversity (HERA project PLURISPACE, 2020-2022), and the drivers of ethnic segregation and mixing (ESRC project Shared Spaces, 2022-2023). My doctoral research, conducted at the University of Valencia Human Rights Institute and supported by a four-year FPU scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education, examined the interplay between internationally recognised equality rights, public policies and racism in the European context.
