From February to June 2018 she will be a fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS).

Lieneke is involved in (bachelor- and master) courses on migration law and human rights and offers on a regular basis training courses for professionals in the field of migration law. In her research she focuses on the intersections between social security law and migration law, in particular on the social rights of irregular migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.

Lieneke Slingenberg has published widely on the social rights of irregular migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. In her work, she analyses how states use the provision of and/or exclusion from social rights as an instrument of migration control and how this relates to human rights law. In 2014 she published a monograph, based on her doctoral research, on state obligations under refugee law, international social security law and international human rights law with regard to the reception of asylum seekers (Hart Publishing). Recently she has mainly been working on European and domestic case law about social rights of irregular migrants. In addition, she supervises a number of PhD candidates.
