Three articles on @theguardian.com today. Draw your own conclusions on @teamlabouruk.bsky.social sensible migration policy "MPs and peers, have accused the government of copying the “performative cruelty” of the Conservatives in its migration and asylum policy" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s hard to overstate how scary this is…

New year, new beginnings! 🐍 I’m very happy to be joining the Global Studies Institute, at the University of Geneva as a @snsf-ch.bsky.social Fellow. For the next two years I’ll be working on my project ‘A Theory of Maritime Migration: Examining the interest of mobile people and territory’. 🌊

Have @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & Rory Stewart just gone & solved the small boats crisis in their latest episode of @restispolitics.bsky.social? Huge if so! So I've looked into it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=toFk...

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions www.gov.uk/government/p...

My friend, Sandra Kazlauskaite, has organised this solidarity fundraiser for Lebanon. If you could share it and make a donation, if you have the means, that would be amazing. 🙏

First post! I had a new paper published in Area @areajournal.bsky.social yesterday 🥳 "Watery archives: Reflections on doing participatory archival research for climate action and audience engagement" co-authored with my wonderful Archivist colleague Claire Weatherall doi.org/10.1111/area...

Really looking forward to reading this! Gemma has an uncanny was of always writing about the exact thing I am working on at the time.

Good! Now Labour must finally end all arms sales to Israel.

These are examples of what we call "migration communication campaigns". In our new article (with @jamesrdennison.bsky.social and @mcarmoduarte.bsky.social), we present a database to explore how diverse campaigns shape our perceptions of migration. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Hello Bluesky friends! We'll be posting here more often going forward In the meantime, sharing a starter pack of current/former staff and contributors to Lighthouse Reports investigations. Will update as we go! go.bsky.app/J6a68Yg

Reposting this as I have added many great #citizenship scholars to this list over the past couple of days - do revisit and follow these folks to keep track of all their great work 👉 go.bsky.app/5vLDGon (if you'd like to be added don't hesitate to ask me in a comment or DM) #migcitsky

Friendly reminder since a lot of people have joined this site recently: I made a Scholars of US Immigration starter pack. I added a bunch of heavy hitters in the field so it may be worth re-following. As always, let me know if you want to be added to the list. go.bsky.app/UZF75nN

Inspired/encouraged to do a law of the sea starter pack (probably not comprehensive so feel free to suggest additions!) go.bsky.app/9tsqVmb

I’ve put together a starter pack on … 🥁… wait for it … citizenship! 😉 This is a first stab and I have surely overlooked people. Happy to add you to this list and expand while more people are joining bluesky. #migcitsky go.bsky.app/5vLDGon

Please do follow this starter pack again to get the newest adds. If you are concerned about looming deportations, want to know if birthright will be overturned, or about global rightward trends in migration, this list has your people. I’ll keep adding too! go.bsky.app/4X5Rfnh

As seems to be the custom on here, meet Fennec and Moss.

“The sea has always been a point where human civilisation meets nature. Sometimes this happens peacefully, but there’s often a clash.” Editor Milena Kremakova introduces the Magazine’s new issue, #TSRTheSea, which turns a sociological eye on our blue planet & the people around it. buff.ly/3Yjz1UJ

I made a little starter pack of organizations doing work on supporting migrants and refugees and advocating for migrant & refugee rights. Surely, I am missing lots of organizations doing great work. Please share, and let me know who to add! go.bsky.app/S8HZX3m

This looks like it might be handy for all of us making the great transition over to here. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f...
