Nina Sahraoui is a Junior Professor at Paris Saclay University and PI of the project GENDEREDCLIMATEMIG that researches the environmental factors of migration from a gendered perspective. Her research is situated at the crossroads of migration and gender studies and has so far engaged with questions of care labour, borders and bordering, humanitarianism, maternity healthcare and gender-based violence. After two years of professional experience at the Rabat School of Governance and Economics (Morocco), Nina completed her PhD at London Metropolitan University in the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN network Changing Employment. She then joined the EU Border Care project at the European University Institute conducting research in Mayotte (a French overseas department) as well as in Ceuta and Melilla. Two further postdoctoral positions revolved around gender-based violence in migration contexts in the framework of the international GBV-MIG project, first at the National University of Galway and later at the Centre for Sociological and Political Research in Paris (CRESPPA, CNRS). Finally, Nina recently completed the Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship CyberGen at CRESPPA around the experiences of women of Moroccan and Turkish background who grew up in France and Germany.
