Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

My research stretches across the fields of critical migration studies, socio-legal studies and the sociology of work. My work is motivated by the desire to understand how social life is shaped by the digitisation of society, particularly in relation to labour-migration, automated border control and migrants’ power to improve their life conditions. Moreover, my work critically examines borders and migratory movements in relation to capitalist value accumulation.

I teach in the fields of migration studies, socio-legal studies, and social theory.

Keywords: autonomy of migration, borders, labour force, Marxian theory, precarization, subjectivity, student-migration, temporality
