His work deals with the spatial politics and visual cultures of migration, with a particular focus on the geography of the ocean. Since 2011 he has been working on Forensic Oceanography, a collaborative project that critically investigates the militarized border regime and the politics of migration in the Mediterranean Sea. He is one of the founders of WatchTheMed, an online platform that documents and maps the deaths and the violations of migrants’ rights on the maritime borders of the European Union. He is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Kent School of Law.
