Mobility, work and rights: about us

Welcome to Mobility, Work and Rights: the I-CLAIM podcast, where we challenge common misunderstandings about irregular migration in Europe today. Your hosts are Nando Sigona, a sociologist based at the University of Birmingham in the UK specialising in migration and citizenship, and Ilse van Liempt, a human geographer based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands focus on belonging, citizenship and the spaces of everyday life in Europe. In this series, we consider some of the key questions surrounding irregular migration, starting from perhaps the most fundamental ones: what is irregular migration? Who counts as an irregular migrant?  Our series draws on research from the I-CLAIM project, which aims to improve the living and labour conditions of irregularized migrant families across Europe. The project is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme and UKRI.
