It was a pleasure commenting on @UlrikeBialas excellent book in my essay, “Categories, binaries, and legibility in Ulrike Bialas’ Forever 17” for Ethnic and Racial Studies: Vol 0, No 0 - Get Access

Some context: 1) Yes, the right to apply for asylum attaches once someone is on US soil. 2) No, this is not unique to the US, it is law in many countries. 3) No, there are not "thousands of judges." Through June there were 725. Total. Nationwide. That's part of the problem! 1/3

Deadline this Friday! Don’t forget to apply. 📣

A huge perk of serving as a reviewer is keeping up with cutting edge research. I just added two hot off the presses articles I had the pleasure of reviewing to my Law & Global Migration syllabus. @UlrikeBialas piece in @migpolitics and Geoff Boyce’s piece in Law&Policy (links) ^

.@hamlinr1 looks at the causes driving the huge waves of migration globally, how these causes can interact and complicate one another, and the effects of government policies designed to stem it. https://t.co/IpObAG61mO #migration #currentaffairsstrangeworld

Wow wow wow SO excited to see this piece published today. Many thanks are owed: @carlbontempo @hamlinr1 for their incredible research on this topic, of which I have BARELY begun to scratch the surface: thank you for taking the time to chat with me! 1/

Lovely piece by @_laurendmiller for @newlinesmag talking about the concept of a refugee. Was fun being interviewed for this!

Some #StateoftheUnion watchers were surprised to hear President Biden use the word “illegal” to describe an unauthorized immigrant accused of murder @hamlinr1 has detailed the battle over words in our Migration Information Source magazine: https://t.co/UzX0j1jpn9

Come work at @UMass Legal Studies!

I’m beginning to realize even pretty high-info news consumers don’t know Congress is currently in the midst of negotiating a radically hawkish bill that’d be the biggest change to immigration law since 1996. If you follow me you know this but maybe your friends don’t? Tell em!

Everyone who visits the occupied territories comes away changed. This from TNC is must watch.
