Crimmigration and the Global South: Post-colonialism, Transnationalism, Transformation

This plenary panel explores a key theme for this conference: crimmigration and the global south. The panel examines the role of crimmigration in extending global north borders outward and controlling nations and peoples in the global south. It locates crimmigration in a post-colonial world, and one in which global south nations shoulder disproportionate responsibility for refugees.

A portion of this panel will be conducted in Spanish. It will be simultaneously translated into English on Zoom. If you would like to listen in English, please bring headphones and a device with which you can log in to Zoom. Limited numbers of headphones will be available.
