Emile BADARIN

I joined the College of Europe in 2018 as a post-doctoral fellow at the European Neighbourhood Policy Chair. I hold a PhD in Middle East Politics, University of Exeter, MSc in International Relations, University of Bristol, MSc in Political Science, Uppsala University and MSc in Urban and Built Environment, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Sweden). 

My research cuts across fields of international politics and foreign policy, with the Middle East and EU as areas of study. I have also a special interest in Israel-Palestine studies, discourse analysis, settler-colonialism and practice and critical theories. My ongoing research combines conceptual and empirical research in international politics and uses a methodology that maximises the explanatory advantage of mixing critical theory with the practice turn. 

At Natolin, I teach a compact seminar on the ‘EU, Neighbourhoods and the Politics of Recognition’ in the second semester.
