He has been a Kellogg Institute faculty fellow since 2016 and maintains a research associate position at the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at UC San Diego. His academic work bridges anthropology with global affairs, focusing on critical issues of migration, sovereignty, and human rights in contemporary Mediterranean contexts. Albahari's research centers on migration and refugee mobility, sovereignty, democracy and human rights, citizenship, cities and aesthetics, and religious pluralism in public life. His scholarly approach examines how political and social structures shape migration experiences through the lens of social-cultural anthropology. He investigates the ethics of migration control, the politics of humanitarian response, and the lived experiences of refugees and migrants, with particular attention to Italian and European contexts. His work challenges conventional narratives about migration by emphasizing migrant agency and the political dimensions of humanitarian responses. Analysis of Albahari's publications reveals a consistent scholarly trajectory focused on Mediterranean migration, border politics, and human rights. His work spans ethnographic studies of migration routes, critical analyses of European border policies, and examinations of the humanitarian-military complex governing migration flows. A recurring theme across his scholarship is the tension between state sovereignty and human rights in contexts of forced migration, with particular attention to how border enforcement mechanisms transform humanitarian principles into instruments of control.
