Bio
Gianna Eckert is a PhD student at the University of Bristol, School of Law. Her research examines the regulations applicable to migrants whose removal is barred due to persisting legal or practical barriers. Focusing on the UK and Germany, the project explores how both countries manage cases in which removal has been de facto or de jure suspended from a socio-legal perspective.
Alongside her doctoral research, Gianna works as a volunteer caseworker for the charity ‚Detention Action‘, which supports migrants in immigration detention in England.
