Speranta Dumitru

Speranta Dumitru is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Paris Descartes. She is a laureate of Foundation for Social Sciences and held a Chair on Social Ethics at CERLIS, CNRS. Speranta's work focuses on mobility and freedom of movement. She is mainly interested in understanding why some kinds of mobility have come to be politically forbidden or allowed. Her previous publications focused on how mobility of people born in poor countries has been construed as "brain drain" and on why women born in developping countries have been labeled "care drain". Her present research focuses on how some people have come to be defined as (irregular) migrants and how this affects their opportunities.
