Wrapped up another great #MPCSummerSchool at the @mpc-eui.bsky.social last week!

Together with @Alina Potemska, we presented and tested "In Our Shoes", an interactive LARP tool, designed to challenge how we research & communicate migration.

Can we talk about #migration in a way that isn't divisive?

Research at the @mpc-eui.bsky.social shows most migration comms is:
1️⃣ Ineffective
2️⃣ Polarising
3️⃣ Short-lived

But better strategies exist! ➡️ Join our #ExecutiveEducation course 📅 12-16 May 2025 | 💻 Online

Why do women choose to stay in Ukraine despite the war? 🇺🇦

✅ Main reason - family (91%)
✅ Wealthier women are more likely to stay (85%)
✅ Younger women (18–29) are 1.5x more likely to consider leaving
💡 Having children no longer affects migration intentions

Join us in Rome tomorrow! 🇮🇹✨
I’m excited to be speaking at this event and sharing my research on how visuality shapes migration governance.

📍 Roma Tre University, Rome

#visualgovernance #migration #gender

Not surprising, as it aligns with Trump's anti-immigration policies.
But the questions are:
🟢 How exactly will this decision be implemented?
🟢 Where will Ukrainians be deported?
🟢 What happens next to those who remain in the U.S. as undocumented migrants—which seems like an inevitable outcome?

For #IWD2025, we share what 28,242 women on the move told MMC:
🔹 18% fled violence at home
🔹 11.5% report sexual violence on the road, rising to 46% in the Darién Gap
💬 "I defended myself... That’s how I escaped." – Venezuelan woman

"avoid being born female" is missing here.

Folks, a *reminder*: there are still 4 weeks to submit your contribution to this year’s GLOBALCIT – Rainer Bauböck 2025 Essay Award on the Global State of Citizenship.

Pls share with early career researchers or submit smt yourself if you are one and have an interest in citizenship.

What do we do next? (or we must do)
1️⃣ Address temporariness by establishing pathways for permanent residency, circular migration, or return.
2️⃣ Adopt a gender-sensitive approach in policy design and implementation.
3️⃣ Expand simplified protection mechanisms to other migrant and refugee groups.

1️⃣ Long-standing issues in asylum processes and irregular migration can be solved when there is political will. But what about other refugee groups?
2️⃣ TPD's temporary nature creates uncertainty. Many BoTPs remain in legal and economic limbo.
3️⃣ Structural gaps in EU migration policies.

🇺🇦 Today marks three years since the #TPD was activated. It granted 4.2 million people fleeing Russian aggression rapid access to work, housing, and social services. 🌍

What have we learnt so far? ⬇️

The Temporary Protection Directive, activated three years ago, provides a lifeline for millions of people fleeing Ukraine.

It's now set to expire in a year's time.

Today we join 109 organisations to call on the EU and its member states to find durable solutions: bit.ly/4ioDgpa

The Feminist Movement in War-Torn Ukraine: Challenges and Opportunities Spotlight on Ukraine 13 | Olena Strelnyk

The war in #Ukraine has sidelined women and gender issues. But the struggle for a European identity is also opening up new opportunities to strengthen feminist values. Olena Strelnyk explains the current state of feminism in Ukraine in the #ZOiS_Spotlight.

Very important research!
Protecting single immigrant mothers from poverty is not just an ethical responsibility but also a social necessity and investment into a happy future for their children.
