Background
I am Deputy Head of Department and Head of Research at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR). I joined the Law Faculty as Associate Professor of Human Rights and Social Sciences in 2023. At the Faculty of Law, I am leading the research group Global Challenges to Human Rights. I hold an affiliation as research associate with the Graduate Institute Geneva's Global Governance Centre.
Prior to coming to Oslo, I was a member of the interdisciplinary research group “International Rule of Law: Rise or Decline?” at Freie Universität Berlin. I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of Potsdam, where I also worked as a researcher and lecturer in International Relations. Research and teaching stays brought me to Madrid, San Diego, Geneva and Stockholm.
Academic Interests
My research broadly engages questions related to agency and change in international relations and international law, human rights and global justice. To address them, I enjoy collaborating with colleagues within and beyond my discipline.
