"Sometimes life takes unexpected paths. I am about to move to the United States, where I will start a post-doc in international history, which is fully funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. I will be based at the History Department of Columbia University and then at the History Department of Ann Arbor (Michigan). These two institutions are the perfect places to study modern world history through the lens of international organisations, humanitarianism, refugee history, and the history of women."
