Hi, this my personal webpage. Here you’ll find information about myself and my work. I am an associate professor in the Political Science department at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). I am also a Jean Monnet Chair in Public Diplomacy and the Director of the Jean Monnet European Union Centre of Excellence (JMEUCE). Before moving to Canada’s Maritimes in 2010, I lived and studied in Toronto, Oxford, and Bologna. My main areas of interest are European Politics, international security, border control, immigration policy, public diplomacy, and social media.
I am the editor of a book on migration policy (Externalizing Migration Management: Europe, North America and the Spread of ‘Remote Control’ Practices, Routledge) and the author of the monograph “Cultures of Border Control: Schengen and the Evolution of European Frontiers” with University of Chicago Press. I have also published articles for Review of International Studies, European Security, Journal of European Integration, Journal of Borderland Studies, International Journal of Refugee Law, Cultures & Conflicts.
You can find my musings about Europe and borders on the blog ‘Schengenalia’ and follow me on twitter @schengenizer. I am also the curator of Schengen Border Art, an online repository of creative performances about European borders. Check it out!.
