Dr Louis Everuss is a Senior Lecturer in Adelaide University's Common Core Program. Prior to this, Dr Everuss was a Research Fellow, Lecturer and Coordinator at the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in the Justice & Society Academic Unit, University of South Australia (UniSA), and was also the Program Support Coordinator for UniSA's Bachelor of Arts. Dr Everuss is the Co-Editor in Chief of the international journal Applied Mobilities, and is the co-creator of the Sociology of Everything Podcast. 
 
Dr Everuss’ research interests are located in the sociological study of mobilities, sovereignty, migration, and borders. His work has studied various subjects related to these themes, including how systems of mobility are incorporated into representations of sovereign outsiders, the way borders are racially constructed through everyday performances of the law, and how public opinions of climate change are impacted by national context. Dr Everuss' research has been published in highly cited international journals including Political Geography, Philosophy & Technology, Mobilities, Tourist Studies, Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory, and the Journal of Sociology. Dr Everuss’ inaugural book, Digital Mobilities and Smart Borders: How Digital Technologies Transform Migration and Sovereign Borders, was published by De Gruyter in 2024.
