Profile Articles Activity

I am a researcher and analyst specialising in migration governance, with a focus on how digital systems, temporary protection regimes, and policy frameworks shape mobility, precarity, and belonging.

My work examines how contemporary migration governance operates in practice: through digital infrastructures, bureaucratic evaluation, and shifting responsibilities between states, platforms, and civil-society actors. I analyse how these arrangements condition access to work, services, and rights, and how they reproduce gendered, racialised, and legal inequalities while often being framed as humanitarian or efficiency-driven reforms.

At the Migration + Technology Hub at the Balsillie School of International Affairs (BSIA), I support interdisciplinary research and dialogue on migration policy, digital regulation, and technological governance, bringing together academic, policy, and civil-society perspectives.

A core strand of my research focuses on temporary protection policies, including Canada's CUAET and the EU's Temporary Protection Directive. While designed as crisis responses, these frameworks increasingly structure long-term mobility pathways. My work examines how temporariness is governed, how flexibility is traded against stability, and how migrants navigate extended uncertainty across legal, social, and labour-market domains.

I also research digital humanitarian and health technologies, including the governance of digital contraceptive tools, with attention to privacy, data protection, accountability, and regulatory gaps across national and international contexts.

Across these projects, I contribute to academic publications and policy-facing discussions and regularly present at conferences on migration, technology, and global governance.

Based between Canada and Poland, I welcome opportunities for collaboration, research partnerships, and dialogue on the topics of migration governance, digital policy, and mobility.
