We talked at the annual conference of Committee on Migration Research of Polish Academy of Science abt ongoing humanitarian crisis on Poland-Belarus border, especially after the suspension of right to asylum, introduced by the pro-european & liberal Civic Coalition. All quiet on the Eastern border.

Perks of being an interdisciplinary migration scholar?
- your inbox gifts you with an invitation to share your “expertise” at very weird conferences.
Do I work on migration, borders, and such? Yes.
Do I understand quantum entanglement? Only in the metaphorical sense ;)

--> we know this support is crucial. Barring it would hit the most vulnerable hardest.
It's NOT about privilege, as the president claims, but abt reparative justice. Talking about “overprivileged” refugees only shows how little one understands of refugee reality.

Everytime we talk abt the hostilities and human rights violations on the PL-BY border it is challlenging to us, but immense gratitude to @badaczkinagranicy.bsky.social for making this together and supporting one another ✊
We brought the discussion abt the EU-Belarus border to @associationruta.bsky.social annual conference, where we shared the reflections on hostile environment & whiteness on the border during the ongoing humanitarian crisis and ethnographic walk in the borderland as a research method

Finally, broader recognition is still due for the efforts and contributions of Romani civil society in defence of Ukraine and humanitarian relief. Hats off to all the amazing speakers, as well as to the great moderation and organisation @terezahendl.bsky.social 💪

Referring to limited and belated work on collecting testimonies of Romani survivors of WW2, it is also is part of the social responsibility of researchers in knowledge production not only abt but first and foremost FOR Roma communities! 💙❤️💚

Finally, this paper is both painful and powerful reflection on the experiences gathered by my co-workers and colleagues from the ROCIT (rocit.pl) project, both as activists and researchers. Especially today, it stands as a stark reminder of how dearly we need solidarities. Now more than ever.
