Yolanda Melody Weima

Yolanda is a feminist political geographer specialized in forced migration studies. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC Advanced Grant “TheGame: Counter-mapping informal refugee mobilities along the Balkan Route”—a project spanning from Greece to Italy, through Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Croatia. Within the project she focuses on the archipelago of formal camps (transit centres, reception centres, etc.), examining and theorizing their spatialities, temporalities, the power relations that produce them and that they produce, their relation to informal mobilities, as well as everyday life in such camps.
