Beyond Critique: Celebrating 5 Years of Border Criminologies
Conference celebrating 5 years of Border Criminologies at the Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford.
Hosted By: Border Criminologies, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute.
In coming together, across disciplines, jurisdictions and sectors, we intend, in April to shift the conversation towards change. Speakers will share their experiences of work on the ground in Greece, the US, Sweden and Britain. We will learn from artists about different ways of representing border control and understanding its effect.
The conference is free of charge and open. Please sign up here if you would like to attend and be a part of this dynamic conversation and creative exchange. For a full programme see below:
