She is Co-Director of the Swedish Research Council's Graduate School in Migration and Integration, member of the editorial board of the Journal of Comparative Migration Studies (CMS) and on the Steering Group of the Centre for the Study of Global Nationalisms (CSGN), Visiting Fellow of the UCL and the RSA. Gabriella received her doctorate from the London School of Economics as a Marie Curie Fellow in 2005, and later held British Academy post-doc fellowship at the University of Oxford and Nuffield College (2007-2011).
