Do folks move content from over there? If so, #tellastoryinonetweet Seeking to leave Hungary in 1956, my father with 12 other refugees nearly runs into border guard who chooses to light up a cigarette just at the right moment for the escaping group to hide in ditch. I exist as a consequence.

The @NILQ established a series in which academics reflect on academic writing. Delighted to be the sixth such reflection published, joining those of @Mariana Valverde and @Barbara Prainsack (and some others). Thank you to everyone who has co-written with me, or is currently co-writing with me!

“The very threat of that [immigration] enforcement deters congregants from attending services, especially members of immigrant communities.”
