Dr Jonas Bornemann awarded re:constitution Fellowship

Jonas Bornemann, assistant professor of European Law at our faculty, has been awarded the re:constitution Fellowship. He will receive €15,000 from the fellowship to conduct research on migration in Berlin.

Law and Migration

Bornemann's research in recent years has focused on developments in European constitutional and migration law. With the help of the fellowship awarded, he will spend six months abroad starting in November.

For the first three months, Bornemann will be a guest at the Humboldt Universität Berlin, at the Chair ‘Law and Migration’. He will also be an associate at the Law and Society Institute Berlin. The research project he will be working on is titled 'Safety First? The Collective Securitisation of EU Migration Law and Its Implications for Migrants'.

European migration law and its implications

Bornemann will spend the next few months researching specifically how migration is increasingly portrayed as a security challenge. He will also study how the European Union and national governments enable the implementation of extraordinary measures, such as the Asylum Law and introduced border controls, and the implications for migrants.

re:constitution Fellowship

re:constitution awards 15 Fellowships to young scholars and practitioners of law for every academic year. The re:constitution Fellows work on projects of their own choice throughout. The key element of the fellowship is the so-called "mobility phase" at institutions of legal scholarship or practice within the European Union and neighbouring countries.
