Research

My PhD thesis, "An Ever-Closer Union or Further Disintegration? Citizens’ Emotions and Perspectives on the European Union and its Future" (provisional title), aims to understand how European citizens' emotions shape their attitudes towards the European Union and its future. More generally, my research interests include EU studies, emotion research in International Relations, and political and social psychology.
