About

My work has always moved between international law, education, and the arts. What connects these fields for me is a fascination with process — how we research, write, present, and create. As a lecturer and researcher in public international law and human rights, I have worked with students, researchers, and organisations not only on legal questions, but also on the ways knowledge takes shape and can be shared more openly and inclusively.

I approach projects with openness and creativity, and I value reflexivity: questioning assumptions, listening carefully, and being attentive to different perspectives. Whether I’m supporting a student with their thesis, preparing a legal brief, or collaborating on an artistic project, I care about creating spaces where people feel supported, ideas can shift, and new connections can emerge.

I am based in Amsterdam and hold degrees from Ghent University, Leiden University, and the European University Institute, where I am completing my PhD in international law. I work in English and Dutch, and also speak French and Italian. Alongside my academic and professional work, I am active as an artist under the name Sirsé.

I have several years of experience teaching and researching public international law at the Universities of Amsterdam and Leiden, and have contributed to legal and policy work with the Belgian Mission to the United Nations and Oxford University Press. I have also curated and produced cultural projects such as Tiny Terrace Concerts and Radio Cavolo, and regularly collaborate with artists and festivals as a composer and performer.
