🔍 Many migration policies involve conflicting yet equally important moral goals.

These aren't just philosophical puzzles, they're real tensions that shape decisions.

Here's how engagement w/ ethical dilemmas can improve debates and policymaking on migration➡️ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

People often talk about how badly migrants are treated, and how misleading the media is. And it is. But this focus can overlook difficult moral dilemmas, where it's not clear - even if you have all the facts - what policy is ethically defensible. That's the focus of this special issue.

NGOs are often unsure how to help refugees. For example, when refugees without rights seek help repatriating, NGOs may feel helping makes them complicit in forced returns, but not helping forces refugees to remain. I consider how dilemmas like these can be resolved. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Und das nicht erst seit der letzten Offensive. Die Art der Vernichtung, die Intention, die Gewalt, all das ist seit Monaten klar, aber dieses Land hat sich entschieden, kollektiv die Augen zu verschließen und diejenigen als Antisemiten zu schmähen, die das angeprangert haben.

My new book, The Way Out, is now available for pre-order!

Written with my co-author Samuel Ritholtz, we ask what justice requires for LGBTQ refugees by centring the lives of queer and trans people experiencing displacement in the political theory of refuge.

Just learned that my lecture about our empirical search on the solidarity protests on Germany in the relation to October 7 and Gaza at the University of Witten/Herdecke was just cancelled without prior notice. I was supposed to talk on Monday. The entire lecture series was cancelled too.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

Is there a hard dilemma between the goals of safeguarding democracy and achieving justice for (would-be) immigrants?

Can freer immigration undermine democracy by fueling populist backlash? It's one of the defining questions of our time, long overlooked by advocates.
