PhD student at the Center of International Law, Fiona studied law at Maastricht University, the University of Cambridge and the ULB. She also holds an MA in Gender Studies from UCL. In her thesis, Fiona investigates how the discourse behind climate human rights articulates a specific and inadequate vision of humans. To rethink the subject of human rights, she mobilizes posthuman and new materialist theories that increasingly seek to recognize and valorize Indigenous worldviews.
