Bio
Sarah is a postdoctoral scholar at the MOBILE Centre of Excellence for Global Mobility Law at the University of Copenhagen. She studies how we can understand the intersections between international mobility regimes and policy pressures, especially in West Africa. Her work aims to situate how national judicial actors draw on, negotiate, and ultimately make, international law - in a domain that is highly politicised, dynamic and challenging.
She has previously completed a PhD dissertation on asylum appeals in the Nordic countries, focusing on the brokering role of human rights by judicial in-betweeners and oversight institutions.
