Jinan Bastaki
Visiting Fellow
Jinan Bastaki is Associate Professor of Legal Studies at New York University, Abu Dhabi. She focuses on forced displacement, human rights, refugee law, and citizenship. Bastaki is particularly interested in the lived experiences of those impacted by the law, how the law regulates access and belonging, and what those experiences reveal about the law itself. Her work has appeared in major publications, including the Journal of Refugee Studies, Citizenship Studies, Refugee Survey Quarterly, and others. At the RSC, Bastaki will be working on the intersections between citizenship, refugeehood, and the right of return.
