Bridget Anderson
Bridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Research Director at the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), University of Oxford. She is the author of Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books, 2000). In her research, Bridget explores the tension between labour market flexibilities and citizenship rights. Her interest in labour demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking and modern day slavery, which in turn led to an interest in state enforcement and deportation, and in the ways immigration controls increasingly impact on citizens as well as on migrants. Bridget has worked closely with migrants’ organisations, trades unions and legal practitioners at local, national and international level.
