Ongoing and completed research on international relations, migration, and security.
Research projects coming soon.
Examines the recent arrival of over 100,000 asylum seekers in New York City within broader historical and geographical contexts of international displacement worldwide and asylum seeking in the United States. The project analyzes demographic patterns, policy responses, and political dynamics shaping the management and relocation of asylum seekers within New York State.
Analyzes the economic, political, and security dimensions of global human mobility, including both international migration and short-term international travel. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of existing international cooperation on migration and explores the potential formation of global mobility regimes that govern cross-border movement.
Examines the politics of immigration reform and policy implementation in the United States and Mexico from a comparative and international perspective. The project explores how domestic political processes interact with international migration pressures and bilateral policy coordination.
Examines the politics and diplomacy surrounding United States and European Union visa policy and explores the prospects for maintaining visa-free transatlantic travel while simultaneously strengthening border security and technological cooperation.
Examines how the United States and other advanced industrialized countries attempt to selectively manage migration through the use of information technologies. The research focuses on how technological systems shape migration flows and support global knowledge-based economies.
