- Reposted by Dr Franzisca ZankerI'm peer reviewing a manuscript for a reputable publisher and came across fake references which must be AI-generated - including to an article attributed to me which sounds fascinating but which I never wrote.
- And now it's time: exciting to properly start working on our new @erc.europa.eu funded project PolMig giving voice to migrants in defining their political agency and centring Afrotheoretical perspectives for global knowledge.
- Freue mich auf die Diskussion morgen 👇

Und Migrationspartnerschaften haben dabei wenig Wirkungen trotz des Bedarfes an Fachkräfte👉 shorturl.at/zxzWv
- In this @mtafrika.bsky.social Spotlight I reflect on access to visas to Europe for African colleagues, the ties to colonial legacies and how migration partnership agreements (think Germany/Kenya) fall short in rectifying our complicity in unjust mobility regimes.👇
