Christiane is working towards a DPhil in Geography and holds an ESRC centre-linked studentship.
Her thesis explores how mobility and citizenship undermine and reinforce each other in the context of Eastern European nationals in the UK.
Before starting her DPhil studies in Oxford in 2006, Christiane worked for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Geneva and the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE), a pan-European network of refugee-assisting non-governmental organisations. Christiane received her MA from Bonn University in 2003 with a thesis comparing ethnic residential segregation in the cities of Toronto, Canada and Stockholm, Sweden.
