About us
Routed is an online publication founded in the autumn of 2018 by a group of Oxford graduates, brought together by a shared interest in migration and (im)mobility. Bridging the divide between specialist academic literature on human mobility and popular portrayals of migration in the media, we hope to bring a fresh, critical perspective to the study of how and why people move. Challenging perceptions of migration as a binary choice between roots and routes, our work aims to lift up the voices of people ‘on the move’ and to explore human (im)mobility in its many varied forms.

‘Alternatives to Detention’ program is meant allegedly to reduce the number of people held in detention centres and be a 'more humane' path for immigrants. Under real life terms though, these alternatives merely propel electronic incarceration, violations of human dignity, stigmatisation, emotional and physical harm, and furthering risks of actual deportation. Isabella Irtifa explains below: #AbolishICE #Detentions #Dignity #deportations #stigmatisation

For some, a pilgrimage to the holiest sites of Islam in Saudi Arabia may signify the fulfillment of one of the five pillars of Islam as they chant La’back Allah Huma La’back (O, Allah, I’m here!). For others, it could be the pursuit of the honorific title “Haji Sahib”. For the poor Pakistani deported labourers, however, Umra is a creative strategy to circumvent the restrictive Saudi border regimes and earn sustenance (rizaq) for their families.
