My research is concerned with social marginalisation, peripherality, belonging, sense of place. I work on a wide range of migration research, including key themes such as transnationalism and family migration; migrant youth identities and citizenship; international student mobilities; family engagement and refugee education. I was UK lead for two projects funded by European Commission - “Accreditation framework to up-skill interpreters to support social inclusion of refugees” and “Resources for local and international intercultural mediators addressing the refugees’ needs”
