Amin Younes Aoussar is a social and political anthropologist and with a special interest in migration and North African and West Asian studies. He finished his BA and MA in anthropology at the University of Copenhagen and has since worked on trafficking in persons issues at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and as a research assistant at the Centre for Global Criminology at the University of Copenhagen before starting his PhD project at the Centre for Advanced Migration Studies at the University of Copenhagen.
His PhD project, titled ‘Peripatetic Precarity,’ investigates how unaccompanied migrant children in Morocco move from rural households to urban centres and into the EU, and how they survive. The project delivers a novel ethnographic analysis of the relation between possibility and exploitation for vulnerable migrant children and sheds light on the social and political dynamics and implications of irregular migration.
