I am the coordinator of CESSMIR (Centre for the Social Study of Migration and Refugees). CESSMIR is an interdisciplinary centre within Ghent University dedicated to the social study of migration and refugees. Three key elements are central to the work of CESSMIR: interdisciplinarity, societal impact and participation (as a research topic, in research methods and as a way of enhancing societal impact). I have a master in Special Needs Education and a PhD in pedagogical sciences. My PhD research was about integration an belonging in a multi- and intergenerational perspective, and also critically examined the concept of integration. After that, I coordinated the research project 'Childmove', that focused on the impact of flight experiences on the psychosocial wellbeing of unaccompanied refugee minors. My research interests include psychosocial wellbeing, integration, unaccompanied refugee minors and families on the move. Furthermore, I am interested in and working on societal impact and participation.
