Gianna Eckert
Visiting Fellow
Gianna Eckert is a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Bristol’s Law School and a Research Affiliate at the Refugee Law Initiative with interests across migration, asylum and human rights law.
Her research explores the legal boundaries of states’ deportation powers and compares the legal construction of non-removability in the UK and Germany. To this end, her PhD project traces the law’s reaction to and framing of practical and legal impediments to removal and makes sense of the various laws governing the construction of non-removability.
Gianna is the co-founder and former convenor of the Migration Mobilities Discussion Groups at the University of Bristol – an interdisciplinary exchange forum for migration scholars. She holds an LLM from the University of Exeter and an MSc in Global Migration from University College London.
