Presentation

I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. My research sits at the intersection of Socio-Legal Studies and Global Governance, with particular focus on international organizations and legal bodies, experts and knowledge production in international law, and the legal foundations of markets. My research often deploys multi-sited ethnographic methods in tracking how global policy processes are developed and structured. I have been a visiting fellow at the Kosovar Institute for Policy Research and Development in Pristina, Freie Universität Berlin, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, and Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. I am a board member of the European International Studies Association (EISA). Currently, I am affiliated with the research project ‘Civil Society in the Shadow of the State’ (CISTAS) at Copenhagen Business School and the research project ‘The Politics of Law in Global Science Parks’ at the Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research (SDC), Beijing.

  • Socio-legal studies and the organization of global law
  • The relationship between public and private international law
  • The politics of (legal) knowledge and expertise
