I am the coordinator of CESSMIR. In this role, I foster collaborations between the various disciplines within CESSMIR and with partners outside of academia. My goal is to achieve societal impact as a result of these collaborations. I have a master's degree in orthopedagogy and wrote my PhD in educational sciences at the department of social work and social pedagogy. My doctoral research dealt with integration and belonging in a multi- and intergenerational perspective. I also took a critical look at the concept of integration. After completing my PhD, I coordinated the research project 'Childmove', which focused on the impact of flight experiences on the psychosocial well-being of unaccompanied refugee minors. My research interests are inter- and multigenerational aspects of families with a migration background, psychosocial well-being of unaccompanied minors and integration.
