JenBagelman is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Exeter. Her academic and activist work critically examines how displacement is produced through exclusionary citizenship and bordering practices. She is also deeply interested in how people mobilise to enact more loving geopolitics. In particular her research explores how anti-colonial sanctuary movements challenge (and sometimes inadvertently reproduce) the hostile treatment of refugees and other displaced peoples. Her book SanctuaryCity:ASuspendedState (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) explores this topic.

First and foremost, we would like to thank each of the authors who have contributed their work to this book. It has been a pleasure working with so many committed and insightful scholars. Most of the essays collected together here were first presented as part of a series of sessions on Rescaling migration, citizenship, and rights at the Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting in Boston, in April 2017. We thank all of those involved in these sessions, both panellists and audience members, for some fruitful discussions and for getting us thinking about this book. At Manchester University Press, we thank Tom Dark and Rob Byron, who have supported, encouraged, and helped us in translating our proposal into this book. Thanks to Humairaa Dudhwala who managed the typesetting process, and Martin Hargreaves who compiled the index. Thanks also to the anonymous reviewers, whose careful reading and feedback has been invaluable in sharpening the arguments behind this book. Lorelle Juffs helped format the chapters prior to submission to Manchester University Press. Finally, we would like to thank our trusted colleagues who have supported and encouraged us throughout this project. In particular, Jonathan would like to thank Martin Hess, Colin McFarlane, Kevin Ward, and Helen Wilson for their generous support, insight, and guidance. Harald thanks his colleagues at Ryerson University for providing a stimulating and collegial working environment.
