Natalie Brinham is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Bristol. Her current research explores citizenship stripping and resistance in conflict situations, including considering the impact and potential of digital ID systems to counter statelessness. Her research interests also include state crime, genocide, forced migration, and bordering technologies. Her doctoral research drew on Rohingya oral histories and narratives about Myanmar’s genocide and ID schemes to critique prevailing international approaches to statelessness and legal identities. She also has many years of experience working in the UK and Southeast Asia in human rights, advocacy, and frontline provision for refugees and migrants.
