I am an Assistant Professor of Gender and Postcolonial Studies at the Department of Media and Culture Studies/Graduate Gender Programme. 

My academic research, teaching, and political engagement focus on urgent issues of social justice, equality, democracy, and the rule of law, particularly in relation to domination and violence amidst political, economic, and social power imbalances.

My work addresses normative questions informed by practical realities and current social and political challenges, while considering the historical context of concepts and ideas. I employ both historical and systematic approaches: I analyze cultural and sociopolitical issues within their conceptual histories and utilize conceptual frameworks to better understand these phenomena in their historical and tangible contexts.

My research focuses on the intersection of political and legal philosophy, Critical Theory, and 20th and 21st Century Feminist Theory. I also have longstanding interests and expertise in (Post)Marxism, German Classical Philosophy, Decolonial and Postcolonial Theory, Affect Theory, and Queer and Gender Studies.

Some of my main research topics include domestic and care work, gender-based and sexual violence, anti-feminist and anti-gender movements, the feminist theory of affects and emotions, the intersection of feminism and Marxism, feminist political activism, contemporary critiques of law and punitive justice, as well as political and colonial violence, and theories of power and the state.
