She employs policy and governance as lenses to explore broader topics such as cultural and educational organisations, the creative industries, cultural diplomacy, and soft power. Her primary focus is on international comparative studies that examine cultural and educational practices as strategic components of foreign policy, highlighting similarities and differences, and investigating the interactions between governments, organisations, and individuals.
