In the this episode of Mobility, Work, and Rights, hosts Nando Sigona and Ilse van Liempt look at how a migrant can become irregularised and with what consequences.

In conversation with Sabrina Marchetti (University of Venice) and Lena Nare (University of Helsinki) they consider the governance of irregular migration in Europe and compare and contrast how European states address the phenomenon.

On the eve of Donald Trump's second term as US president, Nando and Ilse speak to Walter Nicholls (UC Irvine) about what we can expect from Trump and if and how Europe is moving in a similar direction.
