Everuss’s research centers on the sociological study of mobilities, sovereignty, migration, and borders, examining how mobility systems feature in representations of sovereign outsiders, the racial construction of borders through everyday performances of law, and national contexts shaping public opinions on climate change. His inaugural book, Digital Mobilities and Smart Borders: How Digital Technologies Transform Migration and Sovereign Borders, was published by De Gruyter in 2024.

Everuss has published in journals such as Political Geography ("Mobile sovereignty: the case of 'boat people' in Australia," 2020), Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory ("Everyday sovereign exclusion: conceptualising police violence and deaths in custody as a racial production of homo sacer," 2023), Australian Geographer ("Using mobilities theory to study the nexus between climate change and human movement," 2023), Applied Mobilities ("'Mobility Justice': a new means to examine and influence the politics of mobility," 2019), and Journal of Sociology. Book chapters include "AI, smart borders and migration" in The Routledge Social Science Handbook of AI (2021), "The new mobilities paradigm and social theory" in Routledge Handbook of Social and Cultural Theory (2021), and contributions to handbooks on climate migration and digital identities. Together with Dr Eric Hsu, he co-hosts and co-creates the Sociology of Everything Podcast. He has facilitated EU-focused public events, international summits on migration and refugee policy, and workshops on urban mobilities, disasters, robotics, and AI social impacts, building EU-Australia networks.
