She is a PhD candidate of the programe International Politics and Conflict Resolution, organized together by CES and the School of Economics of UC. Her thesis project investigates the transformative potential of everyday practices in European ecovillages, together with the network and alliances they form. The main query is if sustainability, understood as more social justice, has the potential to transform the ways of doing European citizenship, and the ways of understanding the political in the EU.
