ZMO-Wissenschaftlerin Dr. Sanaa Alimia steht für Interviews auf Englisch zu folgenden Themen zur Verfügung:
Afghan refugees, Pakistani refugees, irregular/undocumented migrants, and internally displaced persons within Pakistan as well as along the transnational migration routes. She is also able to talk about wider issues relating to Pakistan, including urban poverty, resources, conflict, the military, ethno-federal discrimination, uneven development, identity cards, enumeration, surveillance, and security.
More recently Dr. Alimia has also conducted interviews among refugees arriving in Germany. She is a regular contributor to Jadaliyya Online, al-Jazeera, Tanqueed & openDemocracy.
Since 2010 Dr. Alimia has been collecting the oral histories of Afghan refugees and undocumented migrants and Pakistan’s urban poor and internally displaced persons, primarily from Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Her work has mainly taken place within urban refugee camps and informal (slum) housing areas in Peshawar and Karachi as well as along migration routes from Pakistan to Iran to Turkey to Europe. Since 2010 she has collected well over 500 oral interviews with refugees and undocumented migrants. She has also conducted extensive interviews with Pakistani government officials and law enforcement agencies, Afghan government officials, and international aid agency officials, such as from UNHCR. She has studied the archives of international aid agencies working on the Afghan refugee issue from the 1980s. Her book ‘Refugee Pakistan’ will be out in 2016.
Starting in 2015 she has been conducting focused interviews with Afghan and Pakistani refugees in Germany and France in an effort to understand the processes by which refugees navigate with the asylum regime in Europe and seek to build new lives in these states and societies. She also focuses on the complex and contradictory ways in which asylum claims deemed as ‘legitimate’.
