As of 2019, Duana Fullwiley has begun interrogating the inequities of human migration and mobility, focusing on the forces that push people to leave West Africa and the complex pull towards Europe. She is concerned with people's personal narratives, the risks and costs of success in light of state-sponsored surveillance, and the simultaneous rigidity and fluidity of borders, both land and sea, marked by new technologies. Her work also considers human-made environmental resource scarcity and how these factors influence migration decisions in search of stability and health. Furthermore, her projects investigate new forms of racialization engendered by contemporary iterations of technologically-assisted border patrolling, which redefine the ocean as a new frontier for economic growth options in Africa. Her research has been funded by numerous prestigious organizations, including the National Science Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
