Happy New Year, all! In 2024 I learnt from & struggled with activists demanding an end to deportation, detention & pushbacks for people on the move, students demanding scholarships & an end to destruction of Gaza. In 2025 struggles continue, but hope is in community & solidarity!

10 years ago on this day I submitted my PhD. I wasn’t really sure whether I would make it as an academic or what the next decade would look like. But looking back now I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me since and for the opportunities I have had to pass it on!

In a new article as part of the SI “World Ordering from the Margins” I had the opportunity to reflect on my methodological choices as a migration researcher, what it means to combine activism & research & what this can tell us about world ordering.
