About

My work combines insights from political science research and experience in education- and capacity building. I currently serve as the director of the Kreisau-Initiative in Berlin. Our work focuses on designing and organising state of the art education programmes that explore contemporary history & human rights, advance inclusion, and try to find responses to the challenges arising from the socio-ecological transformation of our world.

Previously I was a research fellow with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies and a DPhil candidate at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, where I completed a PhD in politics. My research focuses on Myanmar politics and more broadly on political parties in less institutionalised party systems and their roles in shaping the trajectory of hybrid-regimes. I am also interested in elections, good governance, and the role of protest movements in such settings.
