I hold a doctoral degree from University of Copenhagen, and completed master degree programs at the University of London (Birkbeck College) and at the University of Gdansk. Prior to my appointment as Associate Professor at the University of Jyväskyla in 2021, I held academic positions at Western Sydney University and at the Australian Catholic University. In the years 2019-2021, I was a recipient of the Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers at Goethe University as part of the Frankfurt Memory Studies Platform, where I researched post-colonial restitution of cultural heritage and political and art practices of counter-memory.

My research concentrates in the area of contemporary political thought and psychoanalytic and feminist theory.  I am interested in the intersections of politics and culture (in particular images and literature), and have published on politics of memory and counter-memory; post-colonial restitution; affect,  emotions, trauma and the body; witnessing and testimony; theories of violence and non-violent resistance; human rights. I am currently researching two topics: (1) dreamlives and dreaming as testimony and witnessing in war, and (2) post-colonial political and art practices of 'undoing' and 'repair' of historical violence.
