New Visiting Researcher at MOBILE - Hubert Bekisz
Hubert Bekisz is a PhD researcher in Law at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy. His research interests include empirical legal research, EU procedural law, legal mobilization, asylum law and data protection law.
At MOBILE, Hubert will continue working on his PhD thesis, in which he examines judicial approaches to harmonisation of asylum procedures in the European Union. Drawing on qualitative methodology, including semi-structured interviews (with judges, law clerks and attorneys) and process tracing, the aim is to explore under what socio-legal circumstances do national courts disapply conflicting national rules of procedure to safeguard the asylum seekers’ right to an effective remedy.
Hubert has been working as a research assistant on Urška Šadl’s project Judging Under the Influence and as an affiliated researcher to Veronika Fikfak’s project Human Rights Nudge. He holds a master’s degree in law from the University of Warsaw (2019), an MA in European Interdisciplinary Studies from the College of Europe (2020) and an LLM in Comparative, European and International Laws from the EUI (2021).
Hubert will be visiting MOBILE from 20 August to 20 October 2023.
