I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Université de Montréal. My research focuses on how governments use borders to stop and manage spontaneous migration, and I am particularly interested in the tension between states’ priorities in the area of migration policy and the protection of migrants’ rights. I have published work on the evolution of contemporary European and North American borders in journals such as Political Geography, Geopolitics, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Migration Studies, International Migration, and Citizenship Studies.
