Biography
Ismail Oubad is a doctoral researcher within the ERC AdG SOLROUTES project, which explores solidarities along migration routes across Europe and beyond. He is pursuing a co-tutored Ph.D. between the Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM) at the University of Liège and the School of Social Sciences at the University of Genoa. His research focuses on the dynamics of solidarity and support, with particular attention to migration infrastructures shaping the dwelling and the movement of illegalized migrants. Ismail's mobile ethnographic approach explores a vital circuit connecting Brussels, western Belgium, and northern France; a key itinerary of the Belgian-French route to the United Kingdom. His research aims to shed light on the formation of migration infrastructures along this route, analyzing the entanglement of support networks and the mechanisms of organised abandonment and control. In doing so, he seeks to deepen the understanding of the politics and practices surrounding migrants' support and the dynamics of border transgression.
