Bio
Katy Long researches the politics of migration in conflict and crisis affected areas, focusing in particular on refugee movements and international "solutions" to forced migration crises.
Other areas of interest include post-conflict reconstruction processes, political understandings of humanitarianism and the links between ideas of citizenship, national community and residency. She has a particular interest in understanding migrations from and crises in the East, Horn and Great Lakes regions of Africa, but has also carried out fieldwork in Guatemala and Mexico.
Katy got her doctorate from Cambridge and then worked at the Refugee Studies Centre in Oxford from 2010-2011. She has also worked extensively with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, particularly in considering how access to migration channels might contribute to resolving refugees' exile.
