Luiza Bialasiewicz is a political geographer and Professor of European Governance at the University of Amsterdam, where she also acts as co-director of the Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES). Her research focusses on the geopolitics of European border and migration management and on EU foreign policy and external action more broadly. Her current research looks to the ways in which geopolitical agendas 'touch down' in European domestic politics, with a focus on far-right movements and parties. Her most recent books are the co-edited collection Spaces of Tolerance: Changing Geographies and Philosophies of Religion in Today's Europe (2019) and the edited volume Europe in the World: EU Geopolitics and the Making of European Space (2011; paperback edition 2016). Along with a variety of recurrent contributions to national newspapers (including La Repubblica, Domani and Le Monde), Bialasiewicz is a regular contributor to the European geopolitics journal Le Grand Continent.
