Alle reden über ‘Grenze’, als wäre klar, was das bedeutet. Zu diesem komplexen Begriff habe ich mit Bernd Kasparek einen Beitrag für das Inventar der Migrationsbegriffe geschrieben. migrationsbegriffe.de/grenze

Heute ist ein bedeutender Tag für mich: Vor exakt 10 Jahre sind wir mit der Sea-Watch aus dem Hamburger Hafen ausgelaufen: 10 Jahre zivilgesellschaftlicher Widerstand gegen das orchestrierte Sterbenlassen an Europas Aussengrenzen sollten folgen. #SollidarityAndResistance

"Mare nero? Undoing the decolonial redux, multiplying (post)colonial legacies" Happy this article, co-authored with Martina Tazzioli, is now out! We caution against a 'decolonial redux' in analyses of (Mediterranean) migration & (EU) border enforcement. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Thank you, Pope Francis, for meeting the #ElHiblu3 in #Malta in 2022. We will never forget you and your support of Abdalla, Amara and Kader. Rest in peace, #popefrancis.

In this article, Martina Tazzioli & I discuss how some decolonial approaches to borders & migration conceptualise colonial legacies by reducing the complex and multifarious ways in which the colonial past informs racialised bordering mechanisms in the present. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Solidarity with all members of Mediterranea Saving Humans who face criminalisation in Italy for rescuing people at risk of drowning.

New article! For years, I wondered why international organisations claimed that migration across the #Sahara was deadlier than migration across the #Mediterranean Sea. In 2022, I started tracing this claim and my findings are now out! #openaccess tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

"What is impossible to measure does not appear to be impossible to manage." My new article looks into problematic data practices on migrant deaths and disappearances in the Sahara. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Islands of Solidarity? Migration and Activism in Malta Very glad that this new article is out now in #Geopolitics! In it, Ċetta Mainwaring and I explore how actors in #Malta navigate the politically contentious issue of (sea) migration. #OpenAccess tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A good article to read. However, putting in place a scientific methodology to collect data on those going missing in the desert is unfortunately not possible. These are hard-to-reach areas where states do not want anyone to collect data, nor witnesses 1/2

"More people on the move die when seeking to transit the Sahara desert than when trying to cross the Mediterranean." Where does this assertion come from? How accurate is it? What purpose does it serve? Great article from Maurice Stierl tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Under international law, refugees and asylum seekers should not be prosecuted for entering countries in an 'irregular' manner. UNHCR explains why: refworld.org/policy/legalgu…

When the #Madleen was sailing to #Gaza, it witnessed dozens of people being abducted by EU-sponsored Libyan militias. Now the crew was abducted by Israeli forces. Meanwhile, activists in LA rise against ICE abductions. These struggles are connected. Solidarity with all of them!

Why do so many actors claim that migration across the Sahara is deadlier than migration across the Mediterranean? I've traced this claim over the years. Following my longer study, now a shorter piece. Not happy about the title, didn't chose it... euobserver.com/migration/ar5d…

Islands of Solidarity? New article with Maurice Stierl in #Geopolitics! We explore how actors in #Malta navigate the politically contentious issue of migration & how solidarity is conditioned by island geographies, maritime imaginaries & more! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
