Elin Palm is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in migration ethics and surveillance. Her work primarily focuses on the moral implications of surveillance technologies in migration governance. With the ongoing migration crisis, her research addresses critical questions regarding the rights of migrants, particularly those deemed irregular, within the context of national borders. Throughout her career, Elin has aimed to interrogate the ethical grounds on which states impose restrictions on immigration and emigration, taking into account the responsibilities states hold toward migrants. Her research group, 'The Ethics of Migration', investigates the ethical justifications for cross-national mobility restrictions and the acceptability of surveillance-based migration controls. Key areas of exploration include the legitimacy of state-imposed immigration restrictions, the rights and duties of migrants toward host nations, and the fundamental human right to seek asylum. Elin's work seeks to provide a well-founded basis for ethically defensible migration control strategies.
