Jill Alpes is a legal anthropologist working on migration from the perspectives of aspiring and deported migrants in the Global South. Based at CESSMA in Paris and the Institute for Migration Studies at the Lebanese American University, her current projects examine mobility control as state-making and the emotional dimensions of return in the Syrian context. Jill is the author of "Abroad at any cost: Brokering High-Risk Migration and Illegality in West Africa" and has published widely in the Journal of Refugee Studies, JEMS, REMI, PoLAR, Africa, Social and Legal Studies and Autrepart.
