A new study finds that ten years after arriving in Germany in 2015, 64% of refugees are now employed.

Yet, their average income remains just 70% of that of German citizens, and the gender gap is striking: while 76% of men are employed, only 35% of women have found work.

📣 Postdoc vacancy! I am looking for a qualitative postdoc (3 years, 100%) to join my ERC project #RESTATE (Refugees’ Political Participation and State-(Re)Making in Displacement, 85%) and my project #SYREALITY (Syrian Imaginations of Europe meet Reality, 15%) starting preferably on 1 January 2026.
I am very much looking forward to starting my ERC project RESTATE about how refugees perceive and engage with the state throughout their displacement journeys, and how these perceptions shape their roles as political actors in September 2025. I am going to hire 2 postdocs and 1 PhD later this year!
We're delighted for Lea Müller-Funk, who has been awarded the ERC Starting Grant. In her project, she investigates how refugees perceive the state and state violence before, during and after their flight and how these experiences influence their political participation. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

"Despite legal pathways, structural obstacles keep many women in long-term precarity & circle of irregularity"

Based on interviews, this report explores how irregular status affects the conditions of women from the former 'Eastern Bloc' employed in Italy’s #domestic & #CareSector

Wrapped up another great #MPCSummerSchool at the @mpc-eui.bsky.social last week!

Together with @Alina Potemska, we presented and tested "In Our Shoes", an interactive LARP tool, designed to challenge how we research & communicate migration.

Can we talk about #migration in a way that isn't divisive?

Research at the @mpc-eui.bsky.social shows most migration comms is:
1️⃣ Ineffective
2️⃣ Polarising
3️⃣ Short-lived

But better strategies exist! ➡️ Join our #ExecutiveEducation course 📅 12-16 May 2025 | 💻 Online

Why do women choose to stay in Ukraine despite the war? 🇺🇦

✅ Main reason - family (91%)
✅ Wealthier women are more likely to stay (85%)
✅ Younger women (18–29) are 1.5x more likely to consider leaving
💡 Having children no longer affects migration intentions

Not surprising, as it aligns with Trump's anti-immigration policies.
But the questions are:
🟢 How exactly will this decision be implemented?
🟢 Where will Ukrainians be deported?
🟢 What happens next to those who remain in the U.S. as undocumented migrants—which seems like an inevitable outcome?

"avoid being born female" is missing here.
🧵 How do migrants stay safe on the move? Migration routes are dangerous—illness, extortion, violence & even death are risks. In 2024, we asked 18,407 people on the move:📝 "What do you do to protect yourself on the journey?"  Here we analyse the top 3 strategies per region 👇

The war in #Ukraine has sidelined women and gender issues. But the struggle for a European identity is also opening up new opportunities to strengthen feminist values. Olena Strelnyk explains the current state of feminism in Ukraine in the #ZOiS_Spotlight.
