She is also the founder and Co-Director of the UBC Migration Research Excellence Cluster.

Her first book States Against Migrants: Deportation in Germany and the United States (Cambridge University Press, 2009) examined the comparative politics and implementation of deportation.

Her research has been supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Social Science Research Council, the German Academic Exchange Service, and the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. She serves on the editorial boards of Politics & Society and the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. She also serves as Co-President of the American Political Science Association’s Migration and Citizenship Section.

She was born and raised in Germany before spending many years living, working, and studying in Northern Ireland, England, and the United States. She lives in Vancouver with her spouse Alan Jacobs and their twelve-year-old daughter. Before becoming a political scientist, she trained in social work and worked as a community worker. She holds Canadian and German citizenship.
