I am a social and political scientist with a focus on issues related to global governance, and the effects of migration, refugees, and citizenship on social, economic, and political development, and transnational engagement. As an academic, my regional focus is South Asia, the U.S. and Europe. However, I have conducted analyses and led projects in South America, North and West Africa, the Middle East as well as in South-East Asia.
I serve as director for the International Organization and UN Studies specialization at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), where I teach global governance, international development, public policy, international relations, migration and refugee studies. I have previously thought at The New School's Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs.
I hold a Ph.D. in political science and political economy from the University of Münster, Germany. A graduate in law from Humboldt University in Berlin and La Sapienza in Rome, I also hold a post-graduate degree in economics from the University of Hagen.
I have conducted projects, research, and trainings on development, migration, and population affairs on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA), UNICEF, the International Labour Organization (ILO), UN Women, World Bank, International Organization for Migration (IOM), UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN-ESCWA), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Joint Migration and Development Initiative (JMDI). I have consulted with USAID, the German International Cooperation (GIZ/GTZ), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the German Foundation for international Development.
My book «Migration, Citizenship and Development. Diasporic Membership Policies and Overseas Indians in the United States» (2013, Oxford University Press) examines how country-of-origin citizenship affects migrants activities, such as remittances, investment, philanthropy, return migration and political lobbying. It examines how a legal status shapes national and transnational belonging and how citizenship in the country of origin influences naturalization and attachment to the country of residence.
