About
Based on fieldwork undertaken in Patras, Greece, my current research asks how we can understand migrants as new political subjectivities. The work looks at how the movement of migration contests the abjection that control seeks to impose, with a focus on lived experiences of 'irregularity,' and how migrant's presence reconfigures the space of the city despite their insistence on "getting out."
The work draws on studies of 'illegality,' critical analyses of detention and deportation, and autonomy of migration literature, as well as being strongly influenced by no borders activism.
