Olga Cojocaru is an anthropologist with expertise in migration studies and ethnographic research. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at CIES-Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology at ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon, working on the project AspirE, "Decision making of aspiring (re)migrants to/within the EU: The case of labour market-leading migrations from Asia”, funded by the European Commission, within HORIZON Europe. Over the past years, she has been affiliated with the Centre of Migration Research at the University of Warsaw, where she completed her PhD on migrant temporalities with a case study on Moldovan domestic workers in Italy. Her doctoral research has been conducted under Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN as part of the ‘Transnational Migration, Citizenship and the Circulation of Rights and Responsibilities’ (TRANSMIC) project. Olga has held fellowships and research roles at the New Europe College in Bucharest, the University of Oxford's Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), and the European University Institute in Florence. Her research engages with issues of time and space in mobility processes, exploring how temporalities shape and are shaped by migrants' lived experiences. She also works with visual storytelling, having co-curated and photographed the exhibition “Asian Lives in Europe: a visual journey,” showcased at Iscte–University Institute of Lisbon, also available online.
