Luara Ferracioli has joined the GEG Team as an Oxford-Princeton Global Leaders Fellow. She holds a Bachelor Degree in International Relations, a Masters in Applied Ethics and a PhD in Philosophy, the latter completed at the Australian National University, Research School of Social Science. In her PhD thesis, she developed a new model of migration, one that accepts the right of states to control their border but simultaneously requests that they allocate membership in ways that are attentive to the needs of vulnerable members of the international community.

At GEG, she will be conducting research on immigration and global governance. Her broader research interests include gender theory, philosophy of education and political reform in Brazil.

Apart from her academic interests, Luara has coordinated two national projects for the YWCA of Australia and has served on community boards while undertaking her PhD in Australia.
