A panel discussion with five speakers on a stage, with an audience seated facing them. The large screen behind displays colorful graphics with text. There are protest signs held by audience members on the right side of the room and decorative banners with text along the stage walls.

Knowledge Transfer

My research contributes to public and professional debates. I have published with and for civil society, public institutions, and practitioners who work on equality, democracy, and social justice. You find examples below.

I offer keynotes, panel contributions, and workshops on the following themes:

  • Equality, diversity, and political contestation

  • Racism and anti-racism in European societies

  • Intersectional analysis for research and practice

  • Gender, sexuality and lived experiences of inclusion and exclusion

Open science is a central pillar of my work. I am specialised in open science practices at the intersection of science and society. I have expertise in participatory and collaborative research methods.
