Senior Research Officer at the Refugee Studies Centre and Research Associate at the ESRC Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) both at the University of Oxford, I am currently working on research on:
- Stateless diasporas and immigration and citizenship regimes in the EU (Oxford Diasporas Programme)
- Romani mobilities in Europe.
- Livelihoods and lifeworlds of undocumented migrant children and young people in the UK.
- Transitions to adulthood of former unaccompanied asylum seeking minors in the EU.
I teach on two core courses of the MSc in Migration Studies (Key Themes in Migration Studies and Research Methods) and convene the Critical Migration Studies Discussion Class. Previously, I taught sociology of migration and forced migration at Oxford Brookes University and City University London.
My main research interests include: irregular and child migration; governance and governmentality of forced migration in the EU; and the intersection of rights, citizenship and belonging. Nando is a leading expert on Romani politics and anti-Gypsyism in Europe.
My work has appeared in a range of peer reviewed journals, including Sociology, Social Anthropology, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies, and Critical Social Policy. He is author or editor of books and journal’s special issues including Romani politics in contemporary Europe: poverty, ethnic mobilisation and the neoliberal order (with Nidhi Trehan, Palgrave, 2009), Refugee Community Organisations and Dispersal: Networks, Resources and Social Capital (with David Griffiths and Roger Zetter, Policy Press, 2005), The Roma in the new EU: Polices, Frames and Everyday Experiences (with Peter Vermeersch, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2012), and Rifugio Europa? (Studi Emigrazione, 2006).

tnx
Ciao Nando.
Sono una studentessa di Scienze Politiche dell’Università Orientale di Napoli.
Ho letto il tuo articolo in ricordo del prof. Marta su OsservAzione.
Ho avuto la fortuna di seguire un suo corso, di conoscerlo e di scambiare pareri e opinioni con lui. E quante volte l’ho incontrato in quella famosa trattoria di Via Sedile di Porto.
Volevo chiedergli di seguirmi per la tesi…non ho fatto in tempo.
Ti scrivo per ringraziarti, perchè il tuo articolo è il più bel ricordo che ho letto di lui dopo la sua scomparsa. Il prof. Marta era esattamente come l’hai descritto.
E ci manca tanto…
yes

Dear Nando,
My name is Ela Veresiu. I am PhD student at Witten/Herdecke University in Witten Germany. I am studying city-life in large/global cities and how different people from different ethnicities live together. This study was my idea and is independent from the university. The starting point for my work is the Roma community in Europe. I am very interested in hearing stories about every day life of members of the Roma community. If it is not too much trouble, I was wondering if you would be interested in talking with me or if you could put me in contact with anyone associated with the osservazione. who would be interested in sharing their stories with me. I am really interested in talking about everyday activities, such as cooking, working, shopping. If you have time and are interested please e-mail me.
This is a link to my website for more information on my work: http://www.roma-consumers.com/.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Ela Veresiu
Dear Ela,
sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can be of much help for your research. My work is focused on anti-Romani discrimination and institutional racism in Italy. Best of luck with your work,
Nando

Caro Nando,
Sono una studentessa di medicina di Germania. Ho parlato tanto con la mia professoressa di medicina sociale sulla situazione e la discriminazione dei Rom e Sinti in tanti paesi europei – e anche in Italia.
Quindi vorrei fare una ricerca sui problemi dei Rom qui in Italia, che nascondono, quando si ammalano.
Vorrei chiedere, se possiamo incontrarci e parlare un po del suo lavoro e della sua esperienza…
Sarei felice di ricevere una risposta!
Cari saluti,

Dear Mr Sigona.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Tabhita Hutagalung, I’m forth year International Relations student in University of Indonesia. I’m taking transnational society as my minor and now I’m writing my undergraduate thesis about Implementation of EU Framework Roma Equality Strategy: Case Study French Immigration Policy toward Roma Ethnic Minority (2007-2010). This theme is chosen according to the harsh deportation that French has been doing in this couple years.
I read your biography in your sites and see many journal and books of yours that could relate to my research. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it in my university and also in journal links like jstor.org , etc.. Could you please tell me how to get those? Especially the ones that relate Roma in europe and how European countries deal with them.
I also wonder if I can ask you some things about Roma in Europe to help me doing my research.
I look forward to hearing from you. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks you so much for your time
Salam,
Tabhita Hutagalung
