New open access books:
Irregularising Human Mobility: EU Migration Policies and the European Commission’s Role (Springer, Dec. 2024) [open access]
- "This book investigates how migration policies have been problematised at the EU institutional level, in particular by the European Commission. It critically assesses the assumptions lying behind the Commission’s political priorities, agendas and policy outputs. Through the concept of irregularity assemblages, the book examines how EU policy professionals and bureaucracies in the relevant Commission services problematise their respective mandates/portfolios; how they interact with each other and even compete; and how they frame certain forms of human mobility as being an ‘irregular migration problem’ or not."
Religious and Non-Religious Narratives on Migration: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Brill/Schoningh, Aug. 2025) [open access]
- "Narratives shape the perception of migration. The recourse to religion as well as the self-understanding of religious people and religious communities play an important role in this context. ...[I]nternational researchers from various disciplines – theology, social sciences, philosophy – are exploring contemporary perspectives on migration based on subject-specific understandings of the concept of 'narrative' and are also discussing the role and contributions of religion. Particular attention is paid to the original voices of migrants. For this purpose, the innovative method of so-called 'narrative cafés' was developed."
