Life

Nadine El-Enany is the daughter of the Egyptian literary scholar Rasheed El-Enany. She gained her PhD, on refugee law in the United Kingdom and the European Union, in 2012 from the European University Institute in Italy.[1]

After Grenfell (2019) was a co-edited collection of responses to the Grenfell Tower fire, emphasising the legacy of colonialism and UK immigration policy in explaining the racialized neglect of Grenfell residents.[2] Bordering Britain (2020) argues that contemporary UK immigration law and policy need to be seen as "ongoing expressions of empire [...] an attempt to control access to the spoils of empire which are located in Britain".[3]

El-Enany has also written for non-academic media outlets,[4] including the London Review of Books[5] and The Guardian.[6]
