EuroMedMig is pleased to welcome Mohammed Ouhemmou, Assistant Professor from Ibn Zohr University in Agadir, Morocco, as a new member of the network.

Professor Ouhemmou’s research spans public policy analysis, migration, and internationalization policies, with a particular focus on the intersections between foreign policy and the politics of mobility. His scholarly contributions offer valuable insights into the evolving migration landscapes of Morocco and the wider North African region.

Over the years, he has published a number of significant articles that explore various dimensions of migration governance, including:

• “Tense Neighbors, Algeria and Morocco Have Divergent Migration Histories” (2023)
• “Migration, Governance and Geopolitical Conflicts in Africa: A Comparative Analysis of Moroccan Algerian Migration Policies” (2021)
• “Moroccan Migration and Integration Policy: The Intersection of Culture and Public Policy Making” (2020)
• “Comparative Analysis of Migration Policies and Social Transformations in the MENA Region” (2020)

In addition to his focus on state-level migration policy, Professor Ouhemmou has developed a strong research interest in educational mobility, particularly concerning students from sub-Saharan Africa studying in Morocco. His work critically examines the symbolic and social borders that shape the experiences of international students. Key publications in this area include:

• “International Students, a National Asset or a Poisonous Alumni: An Empirical Investigation of the Experience of Sub-Saharan Students in Morocco” (2020)
• “Sub-Saharan African Student Mobility Towards Morocco: Politics, Motivations, and Implications for Internationalization” (2025)

We are delighted to have Professor Ouhemmou join the EuroMedMig community and look forward to the valuable perspectives he will bring to our shared discussions on migration in the Mediterranean context.
