I was honored to contribute to the "Inventar der Migrationsbegriffe," which contextualizes German terms about migration. I wrote about the history of the "Wirtschaftsflüchtling" [economic refugee]--as you'll see, a term that deserves further research! www.migrationsbegriffe.de/wirtschaftsf...

Patricia Hertel and Sasha Pack edited a special issue of the JMEH on "free movement" in postwar Europe, and I was delighted to contribute an article on the Italian organization FILEF. I also thought way too hard about how to translate the Treaty of Rome. doi.org/10.1177/1611...

The cheeriest thing I saw in the archives today. All the better since I am loving Phil Tiemeyer’s forthcoming book on JAT (and other things too).
