About
Agnes's research makes the case nationally and internationally for the emergent, multi-disciplinary field of Critical Migration Studies, focusing on literature, theatre and film. She is the author of Contemporary Asylum Narratives: Representing Refugees in the Twenty-First Century (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) and has published extensively on asylum, refugee arts, climate change and contemporary literature. She is currently working on two interrelated projects. The first is an examination of the interrelationship between contemporary screen cultures and geopolitical refugee discourses in the forthcoming book Stateless Cinema (Bloomsbury). The second focuses on the idea of ‘migrant documentality’, examining how legal, bureaucratic, and legislative texts that determine contemporary migrant life constitute a neglected social ontology. She is a regular blogger on migration issues and works with grassroots refugee organisations.
