Jonathan Collinson

Jonathan joined the University of Sheffield as a Lecturer in Law in January 2023. He is the Deputy Editor for the Journal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law.

His research is on various facets of immigration law (particularly deportation law) and frequently uses the lens of the best interests of the child principle to analyse and critique the law. He has written about children in different aspects of the UK’s immigration system including deportation, citizenship and nationality, employment migration, and access to justice. His articles often develop practical policy or legal responses which would make the best interests of the child realisable, actionable, and operational.
