Reinhard
Schweitzer
Research Professor and "Ramón y Cajal" Fellow at Universitat Abat Oliba CEU in Barcelona, also associated with the Sussex Centre for Migration Research (SCMR) in Brighton, UK. Associate Editor of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS). Co-Director of the INTEGRIM-Lab. PhD in Migration Studies (2018, University of Sussex) and degrees in Political Science and Sociology (University of Innsbruck). Previously Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Research Fellow at the Department of Political Science of the University of Vienna (project REvolTURN). My research focusses on the politics, practices, and challenges of governing international migration across different political and administrative levels, geographical contexts, and institutional settings. From an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, I study legal frameworks, everyday practices of policy implementation, and ways in which migrants perceive, use, bend, or resist the rules and restrictions imposed on their mobility and “integration”.
