On Mexico, she is the co-author of the book Rethinking Transit Migration. Precarity, Mobility and Self-Making in Mexico (2015, Palgrave). Research results on Turkey were recently published in Mediterranean Politics (2018), Patterns of Prejudice (2019) and in the Handbook of Migration Crises (Oxford, 2019).
