I am a legal researcher based at the Faculty of Law at UiB as a post-doc as well as at the Chr. Michelsen Institute. My recent work focuses on the concept of vulnerability in migration law, cessation of refugee status, refugee resettlement and temporary protection. I am currently lead researcher for the Norwegian Research Council-funded project: Temporary Protection as a Durable Solution? The ‘return turn’ in asylum policies in Europe (TemPro), which is a collaboration between anthropologists and legal scholars exploring how temporariness is produced in law and how it is experienced by refugees in Denmark, Norway, the UK and Germany. Together with Marry-Anne Karlsen I edit the resource page on Interdisciplinarity in Migration Research. I also co-host, with Kari Anne Drangsland, the podcast Refugee Law and Refugee Lives.
Other projects I'm currently involved with include:
