I am an external lecturer at Copenhagen Business School, where I previously served as Assistant Professor in the Department of Business Humanities and Law. My research sits at the intersection of Sociolegal Studies and Global Governance, with focus on international organizations and legal bodies, experts and knowledge production in trans- and international law, law and political economy, and law and gender.
I co-direct the Law and Political Economy Collaborative Research Network at the Law and Society Association (LSA) and chair the European International Studies Association’s (EISA) Global Law and Politics section. My consulting experience includes work for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Higher Education and Science, and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have been an associated researcher and guest lecturer at several international universities, including the University of Melbourne, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá. Field experience spans the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
I serve on the editorial board of Journal of Law and Political Economy. I have edited The Politics of Translation in International Relations (Palgrave) and recently published on the global care economy in Transnational Legal Theory, legal affordances in the platform economy in Environment and Planning A, and law and gender in Australian Feminist Law Journal.
