Career and writings

edit

Linos is best known for her scholarship on policy diffusion. In her 2013 book "The Democratic Foundations of Policy Diffusion," she argues that policy ideas spread not only through technocratic networks, but also through democratic processes.[4] In 2017, Linos has been awarded a Carnegie Fellowship to study the European migrant crisis. Her UC Berkeley & UC Davis collaborative interactive data project, "Digital Refugee," tells the story of the migrant crisis from the perspective of refugees themselves, using over 10,000 Facebook post and 6,000 interview data with refugees.[5][6] In 2021, Linos begins hosting "Borderlines," a podcast covering cutting edge issues in international law.[7] Past guests include European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager[8] and European Court of Justice Judge Thomas von Danwitz.[9]
