Presentation

PhD Student in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER) at the Department of Global Political Studies. I have a BA in Anthropology (University of Copenhagen) and an M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies (the American University of Beirut). In my M.A. dissertation, I used social reproduction theory to analyse the historical conditions for the migrant domestic labour-force in Lebanon.

My PhD project examines Danish trade union approaches to migrant labour and forms of racialised, gendered labour differentiation. By analysing politics of solidarity and processes of bordering, it specifically explores what forms of labour and worker subjects remain (un)recognised in trade union practices and strategies. It does so through ethnographic interviews, participant observation, and a historical analysis of the Danish labour movement. Theoretically, I work through social reproduction theory, critical migration studies, and theories of racial capitalism.

I have previously supervised BA theses and taught at the Bachelor's programme in IMER I: "Culture and Ethnicity in a Contemporary World."
