Biography

Sverre Molland is an anthropologist specializing in the intersection of migration, aid, and security in mainland Southeast Asia. He has decades of research experience related to human trafficking, development, and mobility in the Mekong region. His PhD research involved fieldwork on migration and anti-trafficking interventions along the Lao-Thai border. Recently, his focus has shifted towards understanding the growing importance of 'safe migration' as a governance approach in the Mekong region. His ongoing research compares anti-trafficking efforts with modern slavery initiatives and safe migration aid modalities. Molland collaborates with UN agencies and external partners on commissioned research to advance academic understanding in his field.
