She is now a doctoral student at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Geneva as she participates in the NCCR-on the move project entitled: “Societal Crises and Personal Sense-Making: Transitions, Mobility and Imagination Across the Lifecourse” directed by Nathalie Muller Mirza (UNIGE), Tania Zittoun (UNINE) and Alex Gillespie (LSE).

Taking on a sociocultural approach to the life course and the theme of (im)mobility, her research will focus on diaries written over a period of twenty years. This longitudinal perspective aims to explore how three different global crises (political, financial, health) have been experienced at a micro level, how it affects mobility trajectories and the imagination of the diarists who narrate their daily life and give personal meaning to global event.
