Base de données d’experts

I have a degree in Sociology from the Nicolaus Copernicus University of Torun and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the Complutense University of Madrid (2008). Previously I worked as a researcher at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spain) and the Centro de Estudios Sociales of the University of Coimbra (Portugal), and as a lecturer at the Complutense University of Madrid. I have been an external expert for LINET (Independent Network of Labour Migration and Integration Experts – International Organization for Migration) and FRANET (Multidisciplinary Research Network at the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights). My main areas of research interest are intra-EU mobility, economic integration of immigrant populations and population and immigrant health.

Barbara Staniscia, Ph.D., Research Scientist in Geography at Sapienza University of Rome, she teaches Geography of Tourism and Human Mobility. Scientific secretary of the IGU Commission “Global change and human mobility-GLOBILITY”.

I am a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research, Oslo Metropolitan University. I am the Principal investigator on the Norwegian Research Council funded project "Regulating Migration and Integration through Monetary Requirements (REMIMO, 2021-2025), and I regularly undertake commissioned research for Norwegian public sector institutions.

I hold a PhD in Political Science (comparative/public policy) from the University of Toronto (2014) and an MSc in Forced Migration from the University of Oxford. My doctoral work investigated the introduction of more restrictive family immigration policies in Denmark, Norway and the UK 1997-2012. I employ qualitative methods such as interviews and documnt analysis, and I work at the intersection of law and political science.

I have significant non-academic experience in the immigration field, having previously worked for the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, Norwegian Police Immigration Service and the secretariat of the Intergovernmental Consultations on Migration, Asylum and Refugees (a consultative process uniting 17 states, whose secretariat is hosted by IOM in Geneva).

I am Head of the Research Unit “Causes and developments of deviant behaviour” at the Criminological Research Institute of Lower Saxony (KFN). My research interests mainly relate to migration processes and immigrants’ integration, right-wing populism, and deviant behavior. Across all these topics, I investigate paradoxical effects of religiosity. Although I am mostly using quantitative empirical methods, I am also conducting mixed methods research.

Catriona Stevens is Forrest Prospect Research Fellow in School of Arts and Humanities at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia. Her current research, funded by the Forrest Research Foundation, addresses some critical challenges faced by the Australian aged care sector. This work focusses on workforce issues, with an emphasis on understanding the experiences and perspectives of the workers themselves, especially those from migrant backgrounds.

This work builds on her expertise in labour migration. Cat’s recently completed PhD in Anthropology and Sociology is an ethnography of recent trade-skilled migration from China to Perth titled ‘Unlikely settlers in exceptional times’ that explores how social class shapes opportunities, choices, and trajectories through the migration process.

Cat is active in supporting the work of the Migration, Mobilities, and Belonging (MMoB) research cluster at UWA and in 2017 co-convened The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) conference ‘Belonging in a Mobile World’ held at UWA. She currently co-convenes the TASA Migration, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism Thematic Group (2021-23).

Dr. Laura Stielike is member of the research group “The Production of Knowledge on Migration” at the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) at the University of Osnabrueck. Her current research project explores the trend to use big data for the analysis and governance of international migration. In 2016, she completed her doctoral dissertation on the apparatus of migration and development with a focus on Cameroonian migrants in Germany.

I am a sociologist, specialising in migration studies. I have a BA in International Relations and Development Studies from Sussex University, UK, as well as a MA by Research in Evaluation Research and a PhD in Sociology, both from the University of Nottingham, UK. I currently work as a researcher at Bielefeld University. My research is broadly concerned with exploring the nexus between social inequality and international migration. I am particularely interested in conceptualising the effects of social inequality in migratory contexts by drawing on theories of time and immobility. I mostly do ethnographic and qualitative field research to gather my data, but have extensive experience with mixed-methods designs. I have a particular interest in undocumented migration in and from Africa, South-South migration, gender and migration as well as civil society engagements with migration.
