Professor migration law Lieneke Slingenberg

Academic representative Governance for Society

As professor of migration law, Lieneke Slingenberg studies the way in which the law is used to shape the lives of migrants (“rule by law”), in contrast to the way in which the law limits government power in relation to migrants (“rule of law”).

Professor Slingenberg also researches how the domain of migration law relates to other areas of law, such as social law, administrative law and constitutional law, and which theoretical notions in law are relevant to the legal position of migrants who are territorially present (e.g. vulnerability, deservingness, non-domination, (social) membership).

Lieneke Slingenberg: "What I’ve dealt with in my research so far is not so much the right to admission or protection against deportation of migrants, but the treatment of migrants who are already in Europe or at its border. Consider their rights to housing, education, healthcare, work, aid and shelter. The withholding or supplying of such provisions is used by states as an instrument for migration control."

In her current research project (2019-2023), funded by NWO, she studies the (lack of) national, European and international regulation when it comes to spatial restrictions imposed on refugees and (rejected) asylum seekers, in the light of human rights law and the theoretical concept of freedom.

"Het onthouden of juist verschaffen van voorzieningen als huisvesting, gezondheidszorg en onderwijs wordt door staten gebruikt als instrument voor migratiecontrole." The withholding or supplying of provisions such as housing, education, healthcare, work, aid and shelter is used by states as an instrument for migration control."
