Postdoctoral Researcher, #PATHWAYS project @demigkrems | Working on (im)mobility aspirations, capabilities and development
Feeling extremely excited and honored to learn that I’ve been awarded the 2024 APSA Migration & Citizenship Section Best Dissertation Award for my research on im/mobility aspirations, capabilities and adaptation in high-income countries @APSAtweets @MigCitizenAPSA🥳🎉

Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip. A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.
A great conference with very interesting insights on cognitive immobility, vulnerability and the interplay of different im/mobility categories #neuchgradconf24 @nccr_onthemove
✈️Insightful presentation by @KristelGM19 @unige_en on the interplay of mobility and vulnerability among repatriated Filipino transnational workers during the #COVID19 pandemic mentored by @n_rodriguezpena at #neuchgradconf24. A look into the pandemic's impact on #MigrantWorkers.
New paper out! 🎉 What are migration capabilities and how can we measure them? I introduce a new framework for understanding global migration capabilities, explore key methodological challenges and outline directions for future research. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
🚨 BREAKING: EU-funded research projects @fair_return, @GapsReturns, @MoreprojectEU & @MIrreM_project call for greater transparency on how their work was used in the EU's Proposal for a Common System for Returns.
Publication alert🚨 How can we explain the strength of migration and stay aspirations? In @JournalCMS, I engage with this question shedding light into the distinction between the instrumental and intrinsic value of migration.

Why has #migration #research so little #impact? In @IMRjournal, @NWelfens and I examine dynamics of knowledge production and knowledge use in migration policy and migration studies. Check it out and engage!🔻journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…

Perfect end to #IMISCOE2024 with a fascinating work by @EconRuhnke and #RamonaRischke about modelling im/mobility aspirations using machine learning. The way forward for theory-building is indeed combining different methods, disciplines, country contexts, etc.

2-days full with insightful presentations on migration decision-making, aspirations, governance, development and many more topics. Fruitful discussions to continue at IMISCOE for sure!
