Was great to attend my first #DGSKA conference. Thanks to my colleague, Karim Zafer, for inviting me to discuss “Un/Commoning Migration: Do we still need Migration Studies”. Was also great to see my friend and colleague, Dudu Ndlovu, a co-author in our book, Making Routes!

I am thrilled to be back in Cairo and to officially start my PhD field research today! I am very much looking forward to deep diving into the lives of my Sudanese friends and acquaintances over the next 12 months. To make my research more accessible, I have created a Zine, I hope you enjoy it!

No concrete answer but I think the government just wants to sell the building and there’s no regard for any kind of historical memory

Friends; I am back in Egypt (for at least a year). Would love to connect, especially with those who have interests on migration, borders, and Sudan!
