I am currently a Global Teaching Fellow at Universidad de los Andes and a Visiting Research Fellow at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals. I have a PhD in politics from Central European University. My work critiques the European Union’s entanglements as a trade power in world politics. More broadly, I am interested in interpretive methodologies and methods, critical policy studies, decolonial thought/praxis, ASEAN–EU relations, the Philippines’ international relations, and the ‘global souths’ as a political subjectivity.
In a previous life outside academia, I spent six years serving as advocacy officer at the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines and as EU outreach consultant for a European Commission project on supporting EU small and medium enterprises in Southeast Asian markets.
With Taraf Abu Hamdan, I have co-founded South/South Movement since 2021. I am convening our ‘Countering the Colonial’ project. I am also co-convening with Szilvia Nagy the EUROGLOT Research Network: (En)countering Europe as Global, Othered & Transperipheral Voices.
