I am a political scientist and teach qualitative research methods in the Department of Methodology at the LSE.

​My research focuses on the intersection of identity and citizenship in post-Soviet space and in post-Brexit Britain. I have two current projects: Kin Majorities where I examine Crimea and Moldova, and EU in the UK where I examine the meaning of EU citizenship for EU27 citizens in the UK following the 2016 Brexit referendum.
