Profil
Olga Lafazani's research interests develop at the intersections of migration, gender, urban space, borders and economies. She holds a PhD on "Transanational geographies of migration" from the Department of Geography, Harokopio University, Athens. She has worked in several research projects and her work has been published in international journals.
Currently she is an adjunct lecturer in the master course "Gender Studies" in the Greek Open University and the PI of the research project "1c2rc" that aims to untangle the entangled histories of refugee crisis within one century in Greece (for more see: http://1c2rc.eie.gr/en/ ).
