Profile
dr. (Cathy) CA Wilcock

In one project, which sits within the Vital Cities and Citizens project at EUR, I am looking at citizenship practices of migrants in home and hoststates. Alongside this, I am assisting the Prince Claus Chair Ali Bilgic in his work on human security and migration. I am interested in what forms of political belonging emerge when migrants…

My PhD research examined the roles of diaspora in post-conflict peacebuilding and focused on a case study of UK-based Sudanese activists. In my role at ISS I am continuing my work on political belonging in the context of forced migration. In one project, which sits within the Vital Cities and Citizens project at EUR, I am looking at citizenship practices of migrants in home and hoststates. Alongside this, I am assisting the Prince Claus Chair Ali Bilgic in his work on human security and migration. I am interested in what forms of political belonging emerge when migrants engage in claim-making in both their home and host states and I am particularly interested in exploring these questions in the context of migration within and from the Horn of Africa.
