Proud to work with such an amazing scholar. Check out Olivia Maury ‘s work on student migrants’ experiences with temporal borders.

A very informative breakfast meeting about the situation in Sudan. Particularly interesting to learn how the externalization of EU borders has contributed to the development of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), hence indirectly to the current struggle over power that plays out now.

Ppl worried about a "surge" of immigrants as #Title42 ends should worry more about the Biden admin's new rule, effective tomorrow, requiring asylum seekers to show proof that they applied for asylum before arriving at the border. Biden admin effectively shutting down U.S. asylum

The University of California regents take big move, unanimously voting to find a way to hire immigrant students without legal status despite federal law that bars employers from hiring those without work authorization. bit.ly/3BFhRVm

After 3 years, Title 42 has ended at the border. The Biden Administration has a new set of policies to replace it. Lots of complexity, lots of open questions. Chief among them: Does asylum still exist at the U.S.-Mexico border? My latest for The New Yorker: newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

Office with a view. Catching up on reading and emails after two very interesting days at the conference Global Perspectives on Platforms, Labor, and Social Reproduction at the University of Amsterdam

Leaving Amsterdam with inspiration to continue research on gig-work in Norway. Thank you @nielsvdoorn and team for organizing, and for seeking to move beyond South-North dichotomies. Thankful for great comments to my own presentation and to Dalia Gebrial for chairing. #gdc_uva23

To coincide with the #uibLAC23 conference, we asked historian Ernesto Semán about his favourite Latin American books, film, TV series & what food he serves his guests. Det humanistiske fakultet Institutt for fremmedspråk, UiB Gianfranco Selgas (@gselgas.bsky.social) Read his eclectic responses in our conference Q&A 👉 uib.no/en/news/163894…

Interesting piece by Ben Wray demonstrating the important role Spain may play within the EU in the process of finalizing its platform work directive (written prior to the July elections). It also shows how riders are divided between the political left and right. WIRED

Happy for the possibility to present preliminary findings from my project at the workshop: Mobilities, (welfare) citizenship, and the changing nature of work at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik. Thanks to the MOBILEWORK network for organizing. PrecaNord BergenAnthropology

After an August filled with travels, conferences, and workshops focusing on the Nordic context, I look forward to starting September turning the lens toward Latin America.

Looking forward to this keynote
