Not that kind of Dr but I do have a PhD in Politics.Migration/Borders/Art as Forms of Life to Intellectually Contest Practically Reinvent our Political Self too
Glad to have contributed yet again to border/bordering discussions on the excellent @BorderCrim blog. Here is my latest on the ‘liquid’ rights of migrants in the patchy maritime borders of the Mediterranean NGOs SAR rescues
2) From staff teaching, mentoring and support, to my words now, there is only space for resistance and denunciation. Education can transform lives, and @bbkpolitics empowers people to be politically aware for themselves&others. Staff deserve the same level of care #savebirkbeck
1)Birkbeck is the engine of social mobility for those who dream to at least equalise their condition.Proud of PhD students at @bbkpolitics taking a stand for its brilliant staff in the dep of Politics, where I did my PhD, & learnt through their hard work the virtue of solidarity
4) In times when delivering certain political answers differs from thinking migration otherwise, it was relieving to talk about migration/borders starting from my research to then move through the histories of today. @A_Colasanti Well Done on initiating these conversations
3) In this episode we talked about migration, embodied borders, political empathy, solidarity (which cannot be expressed as a 'nationalist' endeavor), and attempted to deconstruct the security-humanitarian nexus in the EU migration governance
2) I was lucky enough to be the first host in a brilliant episodes series co-created by @A_Colasanti and @Alessan06169134 x @IariTwitt exploring ideas at the interstices of geography, border concepts, and politics.
1) Thankful to @A_Colasanti - who I met during my Ph.D. at @bbkpolitics for inviting me to talk about the Geopolitics of Borders/Bordering/Frontiers.

Delighted to see my former PhD student @AlmaPataramon's excellent work on migration mural art in print! The discussed pieces found in Sardinia are truly striking works.
great to see the fantastic work of @AlmaPataramon, (without whom my time as a PhD would have been a lot less interesting), on the 'Art of Dis-bordering' published in @jborderstudies
Just published in the @jborderstudies my peer-reviewed article on Migration/Bordering/Art where I argue that migration murals (from Europe to my hometown in Sardinia) can disrupt fixed narratives about migrants as products of borders tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1…
This article draws on current and previous research conducted at @BirkbeckUoL@bbkpolitics where I also focus on ‘contesting bordering through art’. Happy to see it published as another way to ‘cross’ intellectual borders…

A friend of mine just got published. I strong advice to read and share her valuable and original work on the Art of Dis-bordering.

My peer-reviewed article based on my field research in Calais post-Jungle, Solidarity-on-the-move and ‘reversed’ viapolitics through aid vehicles is out on #mobilitiestandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…
