Anne’s primary research interest lies in the ethics and politics of immigration admissions, particularly as regards the admission of family members. She is interested in the role of human rights in immigration, and in the tensions that arise between immigration policy objectives and citizens’ and migrants’ rights to family life. A focus of her upcoming dissertation research will also be the gendered dimensions of family reunification policies.

Anne’s broader interests include European politics, multiculturalism and international migration and refugee law. She speaks fluent French and Norwegian.

Her Master’s dissertation, entitled “Family Reunification: A Right for Forced Migrants?” was published as a Refugee Studies Working Paper in November 2008.

Anne received an MSc in Forced Migration from the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford in 2008, and a BA in International Studies from York’s Glendon College in 2007. She has also pursued undergraduate study at the University of Oslo.
