Marija holds a Master’s degree in Contemporary Asian Studies from Vilnius University and a Master’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies from Stockholm University. During her studies, she conducted field research in Lebanon and Jordan. Her work is shaped by an ethnographic perspective and focuses on themes of identity, social movements, migration, and interculturality.
As a graduate of Scandinavian Studies, she has been working as a Swedish language teacher. The combination of the Middle East and Scandinavia reflects her instinct to connect worlds that don’t immediately seem to belong together — and to seek out traces of shared humanity in contrasting contexts.
