My role
In my role as Deputy Programme Manager for the BA Professional Studies, I contribute to the promotion, development and delivery of the programme. I am responsible for the research strand of the BA Professional Studies, and I lead, teach and supervise various modules.
I am a member of the Lifelong Learning Centre Ethics Committee. I advise postgraduate and doctoral students externally and on an ad-hoc basis.
I am also a Visiting Research Associate at the School of Geography at the University of Leeds.
Professional experience
I was awarded a BA (Hons) in Information Science at the University of Barcelona before completing two Masters qualifications in Communication Studies (2002) and Gender Studies – Research (2005), and a PhD in Human Geography (2011) at the University of Leeds. I then spent four years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Work, Care and Global Transitions at the School of Sociology and Social Policy (University of Leeds) and as a Research Fellow: Children and Family Wellbeing (Asylum and Migration) at the School of Human and Health Sciences (University of Huddersfield).
I joined the Lifelong Learning Centre in 2016 and became a Visiting Research Associate at the School of Geography in 2017.
I am a founding member of the Leeds Migration Research Network.
Research interests
My research interests focus on transnational families and care, social and migration policies, onward mobilities and the experiences of young migrants and later-generation children and young people.
I specialise on the emotional geographies of migration paying attention to processes of identity and belonging and to critical episodes in the life course of migrants, such as transnational bereavement and grief.
I am also interested in the experiences of (migrant) mature students in Higher Education, widening participation, and critical pedagogies of research and interdisciplinary teaching.
