Alexandra Merguerian

Alexandra Merguerian is a recent graduate of Uppsala University, Sweden, where she earned a Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Passionate about human rights and deeply committed to social justice, Alexandra has dedicated much of her academic time to understanding the intricate relationship between trauma, historical memory and the law—particularly in relation to the Armenian Genocide and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She views storytelling as a powerful art form, essential not only to the survival of diasporic communities but also to the pursuit of reconciliation. Currently, Alexandra serves as a social-legal counsellor for the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in Brussels, an international humanitarian organization dedicated to supporting refugees and displaced persons.
