Joris Schapendonk is an Associate Professor at Radboud University, specializing in Geography. His research focuses on migration studies, mobility studies, and border studies, particularly how migration trajectories are governed and facilitated. He aims to develop a reflexive understanding of the term 'migrancy' and its implications. Schapendonk's contributions include exploring hospitality networks in Paris and the externalization of migration management in Gambia. He participated in the HERA-financed project “Moving MarketPlaces,” which examines the place-making capacities and mobility practices of merchants across Europe. His other notable works include projects on intra-EU mobility for African migrants and the everyday responses of European citizens to refugee crises. Schapendonk's research often emphasizes the dynamics of migration and the interactions between different actors in the migration process, seeking to address gaps in the governance of return policies for migrants.
