Trained as a political scientist, she embraces an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from international relations, sociology, anthropology, ethnography, and political psychology. Beyond academia, Michelle collaborates with artists, finding inspiration in creative expression. Later this year (December 2025) Michelle’s book, Unwelcome to Denmark.
