As an associate of LSEE, I advise on and participate in projects relating to education policy and Europe. During my time at LSE, previously as Visiting Fellow at the European Institute, I have developed research on the formation of a European higher education space and European integration. I am currently working on a book project. My research and my reviews are published in international journals. I also contribute to public policy debate (e.g., evidence to House of Lords enquiries, a submission to the UK Balance of Competence Review on the UK's relationship with the European Union). My articles appear in Times Higher Education, University World News and on the LSE EUROPP blog.
