My research draws on postcolonial, everyday/vernacular, and activist theories and positionalities to examine borders, resistance, and migrant solidarity politics. I have focused on the UK/Channel context for many years and am currently a research fellow on UKRI project 'Immigration Detention: Investigating the Expansion and Global Diffusion of a Failed Project’ (PI DR Ċetta Mainwaring). My book (2022) Everyday Border Struggles: Segregation and Solidarity in the UK and Calais was shortlisted for the BISA L.H.M. Ling First Book Prize.
Background
Prior to joining the University of Edinburgh in 2024 I have worked at University of Warwick, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Manchester and University of Bristol. I completed my ESRC-funded PhD at the University of Manchester in 2016.
