LMRN Keynote Lecture Martina Tazzioli "Border Abolitionism" 22nd May, 3pm
Leeds Migration Research Network (LMRN) invites you to attend a Keynote Lecture by:
Dr. Martina Tazzioli
“Border Abolitionism. Migrants’ Containment and the Genealogies of Struggles and Rescue”
Building on an abolitionist perspective, this keynote offers an essential critique of migration and border policies, unsettling the distinction between migrants and citizens.
The keynote draws from Tazzioli’s recent book Border Abolitionism which brings together carceral abolitionist debates and critical migration literature and argues that an abolitionist approach to borders entails situating the right to mobility as part of struggle for the commons.
Martina Tazzioli is Associate Professor in Geography at the University of Bologna. Her research focuses on migration and borders in Southern Europe and in the Mediterranean region. Before joining the University of Bologna, she was Reader in the Politics department at Goldsmiths and Lecturer in Geography at Swansea University.
