I'm peer reviewing a manuscript for a reputable publisher and came across fake references which must be AI-generated - including to an article attributed to me which sounds fascinating but which I never wrote.

New on the AMMODI blog: Saleh Seid Adem portrays the fates and aspirations of Ethiopian domestic workers in the Gulf States, who often long to escape their sponsorship arrangements (Kafala) and draw courage from the material objects left behind by former #migrants

The Ruins of Kafala Bending
Kafala is a sponsorship system that governs the employment of migrant workers in the Gulf States, particularly in sectors such as construction, domestic work, and hospitality. Under the kafala syst…

Wer verbreitete Sorgen in der Bevölkerung ernst nehmen will, muss sich evidenzbasiert mit ihnen auseinandersetzen. Eine faktenfeindliche Panik-Politik der Härte schafft Chaos, wo Ordnung ersehnt wird.

Not that it really matters but if anyone wants to read my book on migrant resistance, now that we have clearly entered an era of growing authoritarianism that organises itself around migration, let me know (drop me an email or your email address).

Ein (weiterer) Einwurf zu den Koalitionsverhandlungen: Migration lässt sich nicht einfach stoppen. Nachhaltige politische Lösungen müssen auf Forschungserkenntnissen basieren. Danke für diesen vorbildlichen Journalismus, liebe @krautreporter.bsky.social!

krautreporter.de/flucht-und-g...
Es gibt keine Politik, die unerlaubte Migration stoppen kann
Die Forschung sagt: Geschlossene Grenzen sind Symbolpolitik. Nur wenn man die deutsche Wirtschaft ruiniert, kommen weniger Migranten.

Today's EU proposals on return are a "new low", says @amnestyeu.bsky.social.

The @ec.europa.eu has caved to unworkable and inhumane demands of a few anti-migration govts.

Beyond return hubs, it sets out a disproportionate and punitive approach to returns that ignores all evidence.

EU: Return proposals a “new low” for Europe’s treatment of migrants
Today, the European Commission introduced a proposed revision to the 2008 Return Directive, amending the EU legal framework on returns or deportations outside of the EU. Following pressure from certai...

Etwas, das nahezu allen Migrationsforscher:innen auf der Seele brennt und sich nie zu verbessern scheint: Der galaktische Graben zwischen Forschungserkenntnissen und implementierter Politik. Das muss sich verbessern, sonst werden wir keine nachhaltigen Lösungen finden.
