The Weaponization of Migration and its Political and Geopolitical Implications
Kelly Greenhill, Ph.D., is a professor of Political Science and International Relations at Tufts University, with a secondary appointment at the Tisch College for Civic Life, and a Visiting Professor and Resident Senior Fellow at MIT. She is a leading expert on mass migration and forced displacement, best known for her award-winning book Weapons of Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy, which explores how states use forced migration as a tool of foreign policy. Her research has shaped academic and policy debates, with her work cited in U.S. Supreme Court cases, international policy briefs, and major media outlets like The New York Times and Foreign Affairs. In addition to her roles at Tufts University and MIT, she has advised organizations including the United Nations, NATO, and the World Bank, and continues to advance scholarship on the geopolitics of migration through projects like the Diplomacy of Forced Migration Dataset.
Dr. Greenhill's Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC.
