I am actively following student researcb in the field of Migration and Asylum studies. I hold a doctorate in European Policies and Studies and have an extensive experience on issues related to the evolution of migration, migration theories, migrants' rights immigrant integration, including integration policies, monitoring indicators for measurement and standard operation procedures. When not on maternity leave I am a Director of an Emergency Reception Centre in Berlin.
