I am a Phd student at the COALESCE Lab who conducts research on the Georgian community in Catalonia. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology and a joint two-year master’s degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology (CREOLE - Cultural Differences and Transnational Processes) from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). During my master's, I completed an ERASMUS academic stay at Maynooth University and the University of Vienna. My master's thesis examined the role of gurdwaras in the migrant trajectories of Sikhs in Barcelona.
Previously, I have been employed as a research assistant on several research projects: In 2023 in the ERC Advanced Grant project PATCHWORK (A network science approach to social cohesion in European Societies) and in 2022 in the Volkswagen Foundation's research Project INCLUSIVITY (Inclusivity norms to counter polarization in European societies), in DIMCOM (Community dimensions, personal networks, and social exclusion) financed by the Spanish Ministry of Education and in SexAFIN (Affective-sexual and reproductive education in primary schools) financed by Barcelona’s city council.
My main research interests are migration, transnationalism, social networks, social inclusion, identity and social capital.
