By providing an empirical case on immobility that does not easily fit into the voluntary/involuntary dichotomy, I argue for the need to look at the immobility outcome through the lens of a continuum of (in)voluntariness, rather than the involuntary-voluntary binary.

Zuzanna Brunarska @zbrunarska.bsky.social · Jul 30

I do so by considering a specific case where people’s aspirations and capabilities are subject to restrictions imposed on emigration by their own state. To this end, I use family accounts of unrealized emigration from two emigration-restrictive contexts: communist Poland and the USSR. 3/

I show how the critique of the voluntary-involuntary binary expands to the study of immobility as an outcome of the migration decision-making process. 2/

The paper on Russian miltitary fatalities has now been published in Demography. Our estimate for 2022-23 is about 60,000 killed. This is the lower bound based on official Russian mortality statistics, but it's probably closer to the true number than much higher estimates from 'intelligence sources'

Demography - the flagship journal of PAA @readdemography.bsky.social · Mar 26

“War Fatalities in Russia in 2022-2023”: D. Kobak (@hippopedoid.bsky.social), @alexeyb.bsky.social et al. used official statistics & the excess male mortality method to estimate 58,500 Russian deaths in the Russo-Ukrainian war. @hertie-ai.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...
