Biography

I am a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra (CES-UC). My new 3-year research project, titled HomoClassicisms - Dangerous Liaisons: Classical Antiquity and LGBTQ Movements in Greece, the UK, and the US, is a cooperation between CES-UC and the Department of Classics, Ohio State University, USA. My previous 2-year research project, titled HomoPolitics - Greek Homonationalism: Entanglement of Sexual Politics with Issues of Race and Nationalism in the Case of Lesbian and Gay Movements and Queer Activist Groups in Greece, was again funded by the European Commission under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Scheme. In 2018, I earned my PhD from the Graduate Gender Programme of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where I specialised in gender and sexuality studies, education and theories of nationalism. During my PhD studies, I conceived and developed my own research project, titled "Greek Lesbian Teachers: School, Nation, Family", the first of its kind and the only one at present to be undertaken within the Greek context. Additionally, so far, I have an extensive experience as a Principal Investigator in research projects dealing with ethnic and religious minorities and educational inequalities. In 2020, I was elected as the Chair of AtGender, a role in which I served until September 2023. My most recent publication is the edited volume Homonationalism, Femonationalism and Ablenationalism: Critical Pedagogies Contextualised (Routledge, 2022).
