Had a great chat with @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social and @mpc-eui.bsky.social about the connections between migration and citizenship research ☺️

Two days well spent at the @mpc-eui.bsky.social @globalcit.bsky.social annual conference with a great bunch of interesting contributions on the contested boundaries of global migration and citizenship

I wrote about the "lost Canadians" for the latest @globalcit.bsky.social forum debate. If you're curious about what might motivate governments to "repair citizenship", read here!

If it comes into force, President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship could have consequences for people and processes in the US and abroad.

What happens if the US ends birthright citizenship? The impact could go beyond undocumented communities—affecting LGBTQ+ families, lower-income parents & surrogacy. EUI scholars @ashleymhollands.bsky.social & @jdzankic.bsky.social break it down in @theconversation.com 📌 🗞️ Read more: buff.ly/j76dgN0

Important @theconversation.com piece by @ashleymhollands.bsky.social & @jdzankic.bsky.social on how the attempt to restrict birthright citizenship would also spark return to heteronormative defs of parentage. If conditioned on cit or resident status of parent, it matters a lot who “counts” as parent

Adding to 🧵 a link to post discussing how the attempt to restrict birthright citizenship would also spark return to heteronormative defs of parentage. If conditioned on cit or resident status of parent, it matters a lot who “counts” as parent. bsky.app/profile/ashl...

Laws must be certain, and their consequences foreseeable. This is especially important for people bringing new life into this world with the help of assisted reproduction technologies (ART).

@jdzankic.bsky.social and I wrote about the broader consequences of the end of birthright citizenship in the US... Read here👇 theconversation.com/ending-us-bi...

My thoughts on the birthright citizenship order at @globalcit.bsky.social - was going to go with “gambit” but seemed too dignified
