Sanctuary Policies for Irregular Migrants in European Cities.
Raffaele Bazurli is a political scientist and public policy scholar in the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London. His research agenda focuses on urban governance, migration policy, and social movements. Previously, Bazurli was a researcher at The City University of New York, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the University of Oslo, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Sciences Po-Paris, and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Bazurli will carry out a project entitled “Sanctuary Policies for Irregular Migrants in European Cities” (SPIMEC), for which he was awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, funded by UK Research and Innovation. SPIMEC compares the policies that European cities adopt to support undocumented migrants, possibly disrupting the monopoly of nation-states over immigration and citizenship.
Bazurli earned a Ph.D. in political science and sociology from Scuola Normale Superiore.
