Bio
I am currently carrying out a four-year research project (2023-2027) that focuses on the impact of reception and asylum policies on the psychological well-being of asylum seekers and refugees in Greece. The project brings together insights from migration studies, public policy, victimology and psychology, and relies on a mixed-method approach.
Expertise
Academic and policy research on:
- Reception and settlement of asylum seekers and refugees at the local level in Greece and Italy.
- Forced migration governance in the Southeast Mediterranean.
- Private and community-based refugee sponsorship programs in Canada and Europe.
