About Gregg Bucken-Knapp

Gregg Bucken-Knapp (Ph.D., The George Washington University 1999) is Professor in public administration. His research interests are migration and integration in a broad policy and administrative context.

His most recent book, (co-authored with Joonas Sildre, University of Toronto Press, 2022) is a short graphic novel exploring the varied experiences of Ukrainians following the full-scale Russian invasion: those who were forced to flee home and seek safety elsewhere in Ukraine or abroad, those who remained to take part in war efforts, those who were abroad at the time and witnessed the unfolding of events from afar, and those who found themselves trapped in Ukrainian cities under siege.

Additional publications include monographs with State University of New York Press and Lexington Books, monographs and anthologies with Palgrave Macmillan, edited special issues with Comparative European Politics, and articles in International Migration, Journal of European Public Policy, Human Rights Review, European Studies, Nordic Journal of Migration Research and Journal of Baltic Studies, among others.

He has contributed to the teaching programs of higher educational institutions in Belarus, Georgia, the Russian Federation and most recently to the University of Tokyo, Japan as a Teaching Sabbatical Fellow financed by the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education in 2019-20.
