We're excited to welcome Dr Chiara Raucea (@tilburg-university.bsky.social) to the MOBILE Centre next week! 🎉

She’ll be with us through October, continuing her work on how legal status shapes access to rights – like how the right to private life may ground claims to naturalisation.

Stay tuned!

Excited to share a new publication by our PhD fellow Leonora Staerfeldt in the special issue of @recieljournal.bsky.social!

It reveals how international law’s temporal blind spots enable illegal e-waste to flow from high- to low-income countries – often disguised as legitimate reuse.
