Drawing on research from our @UKRI_News FLF project, @AndoneaDickson, Thom Tyerman and I wrote in @ConversationEDU about expanding detention and deportation regimes and their relationship to authoritarianism.

Last week, we launched the Malta Migration Archive, where we document & condemn border violence at sea & on land.

Islands of Solidarity?

New article with @MauriceStierl in #Geopolitics!

We explore how actors in #Malta navigate the politically contentious issue of migration & how solidarity is conditioned by island geographies, maritime imaginaries & more!

Principal of University of Edinburgh, Sir Peter Mathieson flummoxed when asked his pay.

A 7.5% pay rise. Earning more than the Scottish First Minister and UK PM combined but still "not quite sure"

Meanwhile staff face £140m cuts @ucuedinburgh @UCUScotland

For the last year, @AndoneaDickson, @thom_tyerman and I have investigated immigration detention in the UK, US & Australia.

Here, in @AJEnglish, we reflect on how the extreme policies we see Trump adopting are not unique to him nor to the US.

This is probably my favourite paper I’ve read this year. You should all stop what you’re doing and read it right now.

The small child
in the blue press vest
reports from the stomachs
Of children

We want chicken
We want chocolate
and we want anything
we want meat and potatoes
I want life to be beautiful
And clean

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. https://t.co/oA1S2K4XBs

Overwhelming evidence that overwhelming evidence of atrocities is being denied by supine leaders who will indeed stand trial one way or another

We so rarely know the story of the people killed at our border. He was trying to reunify with his sons in the UK, and he couldn’t do so regularly so he had to use smugglers. If we had any functional family reunion mechanisms he wouldn’t have died.

[Janina Dill @JaninaDill]

Let no one say they didn’t know.

This is evidence given in Parliament. What will it take?

Catharsis born of courage, tenacity, clarity and a ferocious intellect.

This - in exceptional times - is the jolting tone, confidence, reprimand require

Thank you @FranceskAlbs

Scenes of horror on the French beach this morning.

People including children in water up to their necks, suffering from hypothermia on the beach.
A father died.

We have to change. What we are doing, militarising the border, leaving people with no safe routes, it HAS to change.

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

🧵People seeking asylum have been let down by dropping plans to offer them free bus travel. Banned from working and living on as little as £1.36 a day, access to public transport would mean no longer having to choose between buying food or travelling to the doctor’s. (1/3)

I still cannot believe Italian authorities detained the rescue ship #GeoBarents after it rescued 206 people even in the face of threats by the Libyan Coast Guards.
