Iris Polyzou and Dina Vaiou introduce Camille Schmoll’s The Wretched of the Sea to Greek readers. They show how the book recasts the border as a prolonged condition of violence and uncertainty for women on the move, and reads their agency through the idea of “autonomy in tension”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eugenia Arvaniti unpacks Greece’s PISA 2025 results back to their root cause, showing that the gap between students with and without an immigrant background, one of the widest in the OECD, has less to do with migration itself than with how social inequality, language and the school system intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Kandylis traces the evolution of Greece’s temporary accommodation facilities for migrants, from the relative openness and rich public data of their early years to today’s walls, security measures and near-total silence, showing how spatial exclusion is now matched by an exclusion from information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleftherios Chelioudakis traces how an AI-enabled social media surveillance tool, cancelled by Frontex in 2019 following data protection scrutiny, quietly resurfaced 28 months later through a Hellenic Coast Guard procurement, raising serious concerns about mass surveillance, regulatory oversight, and the growing reach of border control into everyday digital life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU’s new Return Regulation: rhetoric, reality and the limits of externalisation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angeliki Dimitriadi argues that as the EU turns to externalisation and return hubs, the evidence suggests these measures will not deliver the returns they promise, while Greece’s own data tells a story far removed from the political rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimitris Skleparis argues that while attitudes toward migration are often explained by present-day fears, new evidence from Greece suggests that how past suffering is remembered, and interpreted, matters even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
