About me
I'm a migration and social cohesion researcher with more than fifteen years of experience across academia, policy, and practice, including positions at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, and invited contributions at the House of Lords and the British Academy. In 2024, I wrote the flagship report for the UK's national Commission on the Integration of Refugees, launched at the House of Commons.
I’ve sat in the rooms where decisions get made, and I know what evidence needs to look like to actually resonate in these spaces. I am fluent in French and Italian, and speak intermediate Arabic.
my expertise spans:
Refugee integration and asylum policy
Muslim minorities in Europe and Islamophobia
Inter-religious conflict and sectarianism
Social cohesion, pluralism, and coexistence
Political extremism and identity-based hostility
