Lucia has over two decades of experience writing and lecturing about Europe and things and people that make it move. Having worked as a journalist, research fellow and policy advisor, she accrued quite a few travel miles between the continent’s many edges and centers. Her recent academic book Turkey and the European Union: The Politics of Belonging (London, Bloomsbury) was called ‘brilliant,’ a ‘must read’ and ‘extraordinary.’ As a reader, she commutes between genres, consulting academic literature, fiction, movies, blogosphere and all kinds of documentary archives. As a lecturer, she wants you to be present, curious and not afraid to seek answers to questions that originally made you apply for college.
At AEP, Lucia currently teaches Meet the Europeans, a course that offers an advanced introduction into European politics and society, and Writing Your Journey, a course that is a companion to your study abroad experience.
