Akudo Kyoshia McGee

PhD Researcher

Akudo McGee is a PhD researcher based jointly at Studio Europa Maastricht and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University. Her research focuses on the post-2015 contestation of human rights, democracy, and rule of law norms in Poland. She studies the evolving discourse of the Polish government during two periods when the country experienced exceptionally different socialisation pressures, risks, and benefits from norm contestation and hopes to investigate the role that agency may play in contestation as well. In addition to her research, Akudo is the head of 89 Netherlands, the Dutch chapter of pan-European think-do tank, 89 Initiative. In her role, she oversees the development of research-based policy on climate and democracy.
