Overview

I am a second-year PhD student and a member of the Wales Governance Centre. My research focuses on tree-planting in Wales, particularly on its connection to nation-building. I also contribute to undergraduate teaching within both the School of Modern Languages and the School of Law and Politics.

I have worked as a research assistant in various French academic institues (MICA, Les Afriques dans le Monde, the Emile Durkheim Centre, the FASOPO), where I've researched diverse topics such as banal nationalism, cultural diplomacy, media representation and migration policy.

I hold a BSc in Politics and an MSc in Social Science Research Methods from Cardiff University, as well as a Master’s degree in Development Studies from Sciences Po Bordeaux, all three achieved with first-class honors.

Research

In the context of the current climate emergency, I believe it is crucial to politicise environmental initiatives. My research focuses on how these initiatives - notably tree-planting ones - contribute to nation-building narratives at various levels of governance (local authorities, sub-states, states).

Teaching

I currently teach on the following undergraduate modules:

  • National and Global Perspectives on France
