Dr. Anitta Kynsilehto works at the Tampere Peace Research Institute, University of Tampere, Finland. Kynsilehto’s research focuses on human mobility, intersectionality, borders, and solidarity activism, with an ongoing project studying corporeal forms of resistance and relational knowledge formation between undocumented migrants and solidarity activists in North Africa, Middle East and Europe. Her work has been published, for example, in Environment and Planning A, Body & Society, International Studies Perspectives, and European Journal of Cultural Studies. Alongside her academic interests, she takes part in civil society networks that deal with above topics, for example by serving in the executive committee of the Euro Med Rights as the political referent on migration and asylum.
