In law, violence and agency are inextricably linked. I focus on gender and social justice, and my main research areas are Refugee and Migration Law; most recently also Climate Litigation (2nd book, En). Previously, I practiced law in Vienna, and I still work closely with practicioners and civil society actors in both Germany and Austria.
