I research how language and cultural education envision political emancipation for racialised citizens. Therefore I conduct a critical pedagogical research into the rhetoric of cultural literacy mediated by cultural institutions and cultural policy at the Flemish, Belgian and European levels.

I explore the functioning and potential of cultural literacies in: 

• POLICY: I analyse the political emancipation rhetoric towards racialised citizens in Flemish and European cultural policy. 
• INSTITUTIONS: I inquire how cultural institutions translate these policy guidelines into cultural programs
• LEARNING PRAXIS: I relearn Nepali cultural literacy and critically reflect on this trajectory. 

I studied Social Work at University College Ghent, Art-Education at Via University Viborg (Denmark) and Cultural Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven.
