She has been a visiting lecturer at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, as well as Strasbourg University in France. She has contributed to projects on migrant integration and authored several academic articles about British, French and Canadian citizenship testing schemes, issues of multiculturalism and approaches to migrant integration.
