Erick Moreno Superlano

Erick Moreno Superlano is a DPhil student in Migration Studies at St. John’s College. His interests are in the intersection of cultural anthropology, human geography, and social theory. He was awarded a Clarendon Scholarship for his DPhil and holds an MSc in Migration Studies from the University of Oxford, funded by an Oxford Refugee Scholarship. 

For his doctoral research, he examines the political structures, socio-economic formations, and racial hierarchies that influence the future of immigrants from the global south in New York. Specifically, he studies working-class Venezuelan immigrants and analyzes the spatial politics shaping their future in the city. His research aims to uncover how immigrants' future-oriented actions and negotiations in the city impact their moral beliefs, political perspectives, and ability to create political opportunities.
