Damianos

Stephen Damianos is a doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre. His research explores the usage of digital technologies within border regimes, with specific focus on the deployment of Skype within the Greek asylum procedure. Using ethnographic methods and critical phenomenological approaches, he studies temporalities, waiting, migrant masculinities, technologically-mediated state violence, and the ethical dilemmas of arising from digital bordering. He works closely with FORGE for humanity, an Athens-based NGO supporting displaced men traveling solo, and also works with the UK Civil Society Atrocity Prevention Working Group and the Refugee-Led Research Hub, where he serves as a supervisor to researchers with backgrounds of displacement. Stephen is a member of the Emerging Scholars network at the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law in Kensington, Australia. Previously Stephen interned with the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, as well as Perseus Strategies, a human rights law firm in Washington, DC. He is a Rhodes Scholar and a Truman Scholar, and holds an MPhil in International Development from the University of Cambridge and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania.
