I am a cultural anthropologist with expertise in minorities, justice and diversity. In my doctoral thesis, I studied the construction of culture in criminal court cases involving members from cultural minorities. I examined the potential of the so-called cultural expertise and analysed the relationship between anthropological and legal knowledges.
