Could the quest for ontological security (OS) unfold together with the quest for physical security (i.e., survival)? In a new article published in Conflict, Security & Development (2024), Skyler Inman and I demonstrate how in circumstances of endemic statist violence and forced migration, these quests could be closely intertwined and often reinforce each other.

How does ontological security-seeking in migration look like when trust is not abruptly lost and then re-established by the actors, but could never be fully established to begin with? We address this question in a new study on trust, multiple marginalities and the case of Eritrean asylum-seeking women in South Tel-Aviv, co-authored with Skyler Inman, a glocal graduate and PhD candidate at Brandeis University.
The study will be presented at the March/April 2022 International Studies Association (ISA) annual conference at Nashville, Tennessee, in a panel on security & resistance in asylum and migration.
