I am a social science researcher working at the nexus of human geography, demography and sociology. Main topics of interest include older migrants and their well-being, regional differences in ageing, social networks and support, and social solidarity. In the past I have looked at the case of Bulgarian older adults, Polish migrants and their parents left behind and the social networks and support systems of Europeans. Currently I am mainly researching older migrants in the Netherlands.

I am a second year Techne funded PhD candidate examining the representation of death and displacement in Twenty-first century memorial artworks.
Twenty-first century mass deaths of people displaced by global economics and conflict in Lampedusa and along the U.S.-Mexico border have led to problematic intersections of art and memorial culture which have raised questions of commemoration practices, disposability and commodification.
Examining contrasting artworks (from figurative painting to installations using bodily remains and underwater sculptures), my thesis explores interdisciplinary questions of aesthetics and economics bound up in (memorial) art representing the deaths of economically-displaced individuals. I explore how patterns of exploitation and disposability rooted in neoliberalism - as well as in (post)colonial exploitation and conflict - cause and fuel the mass displacement of individuals, and examine how these patterns intersect with market forces involved in artistic attempts to respond to such deaths.
I interrogate the economic cycles which (memorial) artists more-or-less knowingly express and upon which the circulation and value of their artworks depend.
I highlight how these works bring into question relationships between different cultural conceptions of death and memorialisation and also raises concerns of how art representing deaths of displaced people may express a range of impetuses – from care of the individual to displacement of responsibility.
My project brings to the fore the problematics of bearing witness to the disposability of the individual in mass displacement; and the potential commodification of the displaced dead individual in the art market.

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
