I'm a political theorist. My main normative interest is in the question if and how states can legitimately exclude non-citizens from territory and membership. But I am also interested in other things migration, the ethical and political implications of tampering with socially salient concepts to achieve partisan political ends, and feminist and socialist political thought.

I defended my PhD thesis in Political Theory at the European University Institute (EUI) in October 2023. Before coming to EUI, I took a BA in Politics & Law from the University of Munich and a MSc in Political Theory from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

As of September 2023, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the research group "Transformations of Citizenship" at Normative Orders, Goethe-University Frankfurt. While at EUI, I was a research associate in the project "The Ethics of Migration Policy Dilemmas".
