I am a political geographer working on issues related to humanitarianism and injustice, attempts at decolonisation, and humanitarian futures. My recent book Humanitarian Borders: Unequal Mobility and Saving Lives (Verso) won the 2023 International Political Sociology book award and focused on the ways mobility today has been made a humanitarian issue and the wide variety of humanitarian responses that have emerged as a result. I am the co-convenor of the Conflict Resolution and Governance MSc at the University of Amsterdam where I teach on humanitarian norms and practice.
