It was such a pleasure to visit #UNU-CRIS @ununiversity.bsky.social yesterday, where I presented insights from fieldwork in Ghana’s borderlands on the impact of the AES-ECOWAS split on free movement. I very much look forward to future collaborations and to seeing you all again in beautiful Brugge!

Yesterday was exciting as I got to visit Brussels School of Governance @bsog.be and discuss free movement between The Gambia and Senegal. Now off to UNU-CRIS @ununiversity.bsky.social to present my preliminary work on cross-border mobility and fragmented regionalism #AES #ECOWAS

Excited to share a new publication by our PhD fellow Leonora Staerfeldt in the special issue of @recieljournal.bsky.social!

It reveals how international law’s temporal blind spots enable illegal e-waste to flow from high- to low-income countries – often disguised as legitimate reuse.

Welcome! 💥

From the green city of Gainesville to the windy city of Chicago, my US trip is now sadly coming to an end🐊

It has been truly wonderful to meet such brilliant and inspiring #borderland researchers, #African studies scholars, and #socio-legal experts.

#Gators #LawAndSociety #Mobility

Excited to be in #Chicago for this year's #LawAndSociety Annual Meeting, where I will be discussing my work on #LegalBorderlands cross-border movement, and mobility infrastructures in West Africa as part of my postdoc research project #REMOBILISE at @mobileucph.bsky.social

Thanks for coming to Gainesville and presenting your work on infrastructure and mobility in West Africa just before the summer break, @amalierw.bsky.social!

After 5 years, I'm happy to be back in #Oxford, visiting St Antony's again. Next stop is Gainesville and the University of Florida @ufgeog.bsky.social before continuing to #Chicago for this year's #LSA

Pleased to be sharing my article which has just been published in Citizenship Studies, where I compararively analyse regional citizenship norms in #ECOWAS and #ASEAN in light of the organisations' claimed turn to people-centered governance.

"AI could change the game in asylum law"

Learn more about our new project building transparent AI to detect bias and promote fairness in asylum case assessments ⬇️

That is a very interesting question! May I ask, do you think this likely? And would ECOWAS welcome back the AES countries? Regarding the latter, my hunch is yes, but do you see AES fail?

Important development, in line with broader trend of establishing right to dual citizenship through litigation in African states, as discussed by @bronwenmanby.bsky.social
