Originally from Greece, she completed her PhD at the University of Glasgow, where her research explored women’s participation in left-wing resistance movements during the Second World War in occupied Greece, Italy and France. She is fluent in Greek, English, French, Italian, and Spanish, with working knowledge of Portuguese and Turkish, and is currently learning Arabic.
