I am a researcher and analyst specializing in migration governance, digital humanitarianism, and global policy. My work focuses on the intersection of technology, mobility, and intersectional inequalities, examining how governance frameworks shape migrant precarity and digital rights. At the Migration + Technology Hub at BSIA, I support interdisciplinary activities, research and discussions on migration policy, digital regulation, and technological innovation. Digital technologies are transforming migration governance—reshaping access to services, shifting responsibilities between state and non-state actors, and raising critical questions about privacy and accountability. My research examines how these tools are used in migrant support and the governance challenges they introduce, particularly in relation to rights, security, and the role of technology in shaping mobility. Temporary protection policies, like Canada’s CUAET and the EU’s Temporary Protection Directive (TPD), provide refuge in times of crisis but also define long-term mobility pathways. Examining how these frameworks navigate the balance between flexibility and stability offers insight into the experiences of those living with temporary status. My work also explores migration precarity and policy responses, focusing on the lived experiences of migrants navigating uncertain legal and social conditions. Beyond migration, I engage in research on the regulation of digital contraceptive technologies, analyzing privacy, governance, and policy frameworks across Canada and internationally. Through these projects, I contribute to academic publications and policy discussions, regularly presenting at conferences on migration, technology, and governance. I enjoying travelling between Canada and Poland whenever possible - my two homes - and welcome opportunities for collaboration and dialogue at the intersection of global governance, digital policy, and mobility.
