On route to Nürnberg to meet the „Forschungsverbund Diskriminierung & Rassismus“ and propose some conceptual & methodological considerations on studying racism in institutions - this brings several things together that I have done over the past years, so really curious what the discussion will bring

AG Recruitment loses licence to sponsor migrant agricultural workers

Scandal-hit firm loses right to bring farm workers to the UK. But the government’s reasoning suggests its focus remains on controlling migration, not prioritising labour rights, writes Natalie Sedacca. AG Recruitment, which had brought more than 1,450 Indonesian nationals to work on farms in the UK last year, has lost its licence as a sponsor […]

In my new article, I argue that people from Europe's East are distinctively, yet ambigiously racialised in Europe's West. ‘Eastern Europe’ is inferiorized within Europe, but at the same time often positioned within global racialised categories of ‘Europeanness’: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369183X.2022.2154910
East–west inequalities and the ambiguous racialisation of ‘Eastern Europeans’

A growing scholarly literature describes people who moved from Europe’s East to its West as racialised. Others speak of ‘migratization’ or ‘xenophobia’. Many of these contributions have in common t...

My very first post here, attempting to learn how it all works: Our book has a cover! #Migrant #Academics' Narratives of Precarity and Resilience in Europe will be out early 2023. @OBurlyuk & I are overjoyed & grateful that @OpenBookPublish will publish this book #OpenAccess. https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0331
Migrant Academics’ Narratives of Precarity and Resilience in Europe

This volume consists of narratives of migrant academics from the Global South within academia in the Global North. The autobiographic and autoethnographic contributions to this collection aim to decolonise the discourse around academic mobility by highlighting experiences of precarity, resilience, care and solidarity in the academic margins.
