Hein de Haas is a renowned migration scholar and Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam, where he directs the Amsterdam Centre for Migration and Refugee Studies. With a background in anthropology and development sociology from Leiden University, he has dedicated his career to unraveling the complexities of global population movements, challenging simplistic narratives around migration and borders.

Through rigorous analysis and accessible prose, he advocates for evidence-based approaches to one of the defining issues of our time.
