Ruben Andersson

Ruben Andersson is a Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford, known for his research on migration, security, and surveillance. His recent book, 'Age of Security: The Rise of a Global Obsession,' critically examines the increasing global demand for security and how it affects perceptions of migration. Andersson explores the historical and contemporary dynamics of migration as a security issue, highlighting the geopolitical implications of migration policies, particularly in Europe. His work sheds light on the complex interplay between migration, political power, and societal fears, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of these issues beyond a simplistic security narrative.
