We talked at the annual conference of Committee on Migration Research of Polish Academy of Science abt ongoing humanitarian crisis on Poland-Belarus border, especially after the suspension of right to asylum, introduced by the pro-european & liberal Civic Coalition. All quiet on the Eastern border.

Perks of being an interdisciplinary migration scholar? - your inbox gifts you with an invitation to share your “expertise” at very weird conferences. Do I work on migration, borders, and such? Yes. Do I understand quantum entanglement? Only in the metaphorical sense ;) #predatoryconferencing

25. Seminar on the Border is coming to a close. Our discussion unfolded against the backdrop of the suspension of the right to asylum in PL. Research on the border, discursive militarisation & hidden racism, East–West inequalities, and Europeanisation as violence remains more important than ever.
