Academic interests
Russell Stone's research is centered on human mobility and state responses to mobility. This includes a range of topics such as policing, welfare policy, labor market control, migration legislation, integration or assimilation policies, and various forms of preferential or discriminatory treatment. Because the focus of these topics is primarily public institutions they are brought into a necessary and meaningful dialogue with diverse fields such as organizational studies, political sociology and political economics.
