Anna Closas Casasampera

I am a graduate student in Political Theory at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on Contemporary Political Theory. My interests lie in Citizenship and Migration studies and critical work on contemporary discourses and governmentalities more broadly. Methodologically, I hope to ground my theoretical arguments in empirical realities by using ethnographic methods and interpretivist methodologies.

Before coming to Berkeley, I received a BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from Pompeu Fabra University, spending one year at the University of Chicago, and an MA in International Conflict Studies from King's College London. I have also worked for several international organizations and non-profits, mostly on gender and migration issues.
