Karin Åberg

Karin Åberg’s dissertation topic, Humanizing European Migration Law concerns the development of asylum law as expressed in EU law and under the ECHR. She specifically examines how law and legal expectations interact with humanitarianist values as well as ideas of the irregular migrant as an economic actor. Beside European asylum law, Åberg also writes about impoverished (Roma) EU migrants as well as the correlation between law and grassroot activism and is active in public debates on these subjects. Åberg has previously practiced law in Greece and Sweden, and worked with human rights advocacy in Brussels.
