Research interests

Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of social policies and migration policies, paying specific attention to the processes of health and long-term care policy-making and implementation. Currently, she is working on the nexus between the Welfare state and different mobility dynamics, as well as on long-term care policies, politics and practices.
