Lecture | The Violence of Border Security: Migrant Deaths Across Deserts and Seas


The violence of border security practices is no more evident than in the phenomena of migrant deaths across "deserts and seas." Although such deaths are often hidden from view, their increased exposure over recent years raises questions about a growing "crisis" of contemporary practices of governing migration. Yet precisely how such a "crisis" is articulated is complex and contested, and needs unpacking. In this talk, Dr. Vicki Squire reflects on her research across both the Sonoran Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, in order to consider how we might make sense of current "crises" in the field of migration.
