My research is situated at the intersection of labour migration, the internationalisation of higher education, and development studies. In most of my works, I use the theoretical framework of Pierre Bourdieu to understand the experiences and practices of migrants (individuals and groups). My doctoral project articulated and advanced the notion of the 'migrant habitus' from the experiences of educational migrants in Denmark and New Zealand.
