Catherine Lejeune is associate professor of American studies at Université de Paris, France. She holds a PhD in Ethnic and Migration studies from Paris Diderot University. Her interests include US immigration law and policy. She explores the ways in which local actors in US cities respond to immigration and she investigates the emergence of “local-level” policy-making in the absence of national immigration reform. While her recent research lied with the determinants of irregular migration in a comparative perspective (USA-Europe), her current interests lie with undocumented migrants in global cities, primarily US immigrant youths, their lives as almost ordinary city residents in a highly diverse context and as emergent political subjects.
