Assistant Professor and Head of Forced Migration Unit, Human Rights Law Cente, University of Nottingham

My expertise is in international law, more specifically international human rights law and the international protection of refugees. I also research in the area of business and human rights, in particular in emergency contexts (including in the European refugee 'crisis').

Before joining academia, I worked with various international NGOs and as a human rights field officer in Afghanistan for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
