Lauren Beyhaut
Visiting Fellow
Lauren Beyhaut is a Visiting Fellow at the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), University of Oxford. Trained in social sciences at the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay and Université Panthéon-Sorbonne, her research centres on migration studies, drawing on feminist theory, geopolitics and socio-legal approaches. Her previous work focused on sex trafficking between Europe and Latin America from both a historical and geographical approach (forthcoming article).
Lauren's research at the RSC explores how migrants, and migrant women in particular, are positioned between humanitarian and criminalising logics through the prism of migration policy in Spain. This work is part of a broader research agenda on European migration policies at the intersection of gender, racial and postcolonial perspectives.
