Angela TACEA, Associate Professor of European Studies

Angela TACEA has been an associate professor of European studies since 2023. Her research and teaching focus primarily on the European legislative process, with a particular emphasis on institutional actors and procedures, fundamental rights, and European justice and home affairs policies, including asylum and immigration, personal data protection, and e-government.
In March 2020, she was appointed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as an associate judge at the National Court of Asylum (CNDA). She also serves as a trainer for the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA).

She earned her Ph.D. from Sciences Po Paris (2010–2017). Her dissertation, published by La Librairie générale de droit et de jurisprudence (available here), analyzes parliamentary oversight of EU justice and home affairs and how national parliaments contribute to maintaining the balance between freedom and security in this area of public policy. She adopts a comparative perspective between France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Before joining Sciences Po Grenoble, she was an FWO (Flemish Research Foundation) postdoctoral researcher from 2017 to 2021 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her postdoctoral project, titled “Who Wins the Legislative Battle? Tracking legislative changes and political ideas in the field of freedom, security, and justice,” was conducted at the Institute of European Studies and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She was also a temporary teaching and research assistant at the University of Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas from 2014 to 2016.
