- Research Program Mentor
MSc candidate at University of Oxford
Expertise
I can mentor students in projects relating to law, public policy, sociology, literature, and moral philosophy.
Bio
I have a multidisciplinary background in law, criminology, and forced migration, engaging with the fields of international law, moral philosophy, and public policy. My interests lie in how legal frameworks shape the protection of displaced communities. As a former editorial member of an academic journal and research assistant, I offer strong analytical and writing skills, and experience in academic research and peer review. In my free time, I like drawing (for fun), listening to instrumental music, and having quality time with my friends!Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Morality of movement
This paper explores whether equal access to economic opportunities diminishes or eliminates the moral case for freedom of movement. Drawing on political philosophy, it examines competing theories of justice and liberal nationalism, to assess the moral foundations of mobility rights. The project considers whether improving conditions within states can substitute for the right to move across borders, or whether freedom of movement retains intrinsic moral value regardless of global inequality.
