Timothy Raeymaekers (Geography), orients his research starting from a diasporic concept of the Mediterranean space, in order to produce a rewriting of this space from an intercultural and intersubjective point of view. A constituent part of the Black Mediterranean collective, with which he curated a collection for Palgrave Springer in 2022, he questions the way in which the intertwining of border policies, modes of production, and dynamics of citizenship generates new forms of domination, not only in the Mediterranean space but also in Central Africa. In recent times, his interdisciplinary research, in which he combines geography with contemporary archeology and ethnography, has resulted in several publications, for example in the monograph The Natural Border: Bounding Migrant Farmwork in The Black Mediterreanean (Cornell 2024), as well to have a turning point in the third mission, for example in the curation of the Digital Gold exhibition and the archeology of a frontier (with MIC-C and the Basilicata Migration Observatory).
