Jane Freedman is leader of the GRABS project. She is a Professor at the Université Paris 8 and member of the Paris Centre for Social and Political Research (CRESPPA). Her research has focused for many years on issues of migration and borders, with an intersectional and postcolonial approach. She is particularly interested in the ways that migration and border policies create gendered and racist forms of violence and vulnerability for people on the move, and the ways in which people on the move resist this violence.
