BIO
My sociological research contributions are concerned with the practices of dominant social classes and high-skilled professional groups – examining how processes of internationalisation and mobility mediate the desires and social relations fostered by these highly-resourced groups across different spaces.
I joined Deakin University in July 2025. I moved to Melbourne after seven years at the University of Copenhagen. I started my academic career at University College London.
