In last month's white paper, the government said it will introduce changes to make it harder to obtain permanent residence in the UK.

Our new commentary looks at how many people could be covered by the changes and their potential impact on migrants.

‘Europe was a dream for me. This dream came true but remains unfulfilled at the same time’: Navigating life aspirations among forced migrants in Austria and Italy Abstract. In this article, we analyse the interplay between forced migrants’ retrospective expectations and their current experiences in the host country,

📢Publication Alert📢Excited to announce our new paper published in Migration Studies @OxfordJournal, co-authored with @h2020mirror team: @VerenaKBrandle @jamoeberl.bsky.social, H. Boomgaarden, S. Wyatt, K. Braun, I. Metwally. #openaccess #migration #aspirations

The research sheds light on migrants' reflective nature in decision-making during uncertainty, contributing to a deeper understanding of the interplay between agency and structural limitations in shaping forward and backward migration aspirations.

Through interviews with refugees in Libya and Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as complementary expert interviews, it highlights how uncertainty shapes migration aspirations.

Drawing from recent scholarship on migration-related ambivalence, we focus on how people reflect on the past and present of their migration aspirations, employing a migrant-centered approach.

It investigates the under-explored question of how migrants in so-called ‘transit countries’ make sense of migration aspirations.

It has been a great pleasure for me to collaborate with colleagues coming from different disciplines and produce such a crucial piece that informs not only migration and refugee studies, but also housing and urban studies. @Ayselin_Yildiz @d_telintelo @migrantkarachi
& others @IDS_UK @IJHPEditors

Drawing on theoretical insights from housing studies, urban studies and migration studies, the article assesses how displacement materialises in place through housing and contributes to city-making processes informally, incrementally, and in locally and historically contingent manners.

Fresh off the press! Thrilled to see that this joint manuscript is finally out! Through an interdisciplinary lens, we have investigated the link between protracted displacement and housing systems in intermediary cities with a specific focus on the case of Syrians in Torbalı, Izmir, Türkiye.
