Joe Turner is currently a research fellow in international migration at the University of Sheffield, UK. His research sits at the cross-section of international politics, history and sociology and is primarily focused on histories of bordering and inclusion/exclusion in postcolonial liberal states. He has previously published in journals such as the Environment and Planning D, British Journal of Politics and International Relations and Citizenship Studies. His latest project explores connections between practices of bordering and the regulation of intimacy in the UK.
