Her research explores how people make sense of their world in the face of extreme experiences such as war, persecution and forced migration. Her current project is on the stateless people who emerged from the wreckage of the First World War and how they navigated their situation during the interwar period, the Second World War and beyond into the Cold War and decolonisation era.
