Noora Lori,<\/a>\u00a0Assistant Professor of International Relations at the\u00a0<\/span>Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published an article in the International Migration Review (IMR) on immigration in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and how citizenship policies shape immigrants’ perception of each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The article, titled “Possible Citizens: Migration Enforcement as the Performance of Citizenship in the United Arab Emirates<\/a>,” aims to explain why immigrants develop anti-immigrant attitudes. Lori argues that under uncertain citizenship status, long-term immigrants are unlikely to develop solidarity with newcomers, despite common experience with exclusionary citizenship policies. Drawing on interviews with naturalization applicants in the United Arab Emirates, this article analyses how policies that unevenly distribute rights and protections to non-citizens structure relationships between immigrant groups.<\/p>\n

She is particularly interested in the study of temporary worker programs and racial hierarchies in comparative perspective.
