New Visiting Researcher at MOBILE - Christian Prener
Christian Prener is Assistant Professor of Public International Law at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and a current Carlsberg Foundation Internationalisation Fellow at the European University Institute, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, where he is part of the Global Citizenship research group led by professor Maarten Vink (2023-2025).
Christian’s scholarship focuses on interconnection between international law, citizenship, and transnational human mobility. His previous work concerns issues related to security-based citizenship revocation and include publications such as the monograph ‘Denationalisation and Its Discontents’ (Brill 2022) which examines the legal, moral, and political implications posed by the Western revival of citizenship revocation in the 21st century, and the article ’The Dichotomy within Denationalisation: Perpetuating or Emancipating from its Discriminatory Past’ (Special Issue of International Journal of Discrimination and the Law (2022)).
During his time as a Visiting Researcher at MOBILE, Christian will be working on his current project which examines how citizenship law interacts with and potentially reconfigures the legal regimes that, combined, make up the legal infrastructure of transnational human mobility.
Christian is a former Visiting Researcher at the Faculty of Law, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), iCourts, Faculty of Law, UCPH, and the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR). He received his Ph.D. in International Law from the University of Aarhus in 2021 and holds a Master degree in Law from the University of Copenhagen.
