The two day workshop engages with the tension between a trend towards the construction of Fortress North America by means of state-led collaboration on border control and migration management policies, and resistance to these borders evident in particular through the activism and the everyday lived realities of indigenous and migrant communities of the region.
Impact
The workshop featured one public keynote lecture and a documentary film screening that was also open to the public. A selection of papers from the workshop are being published in a special journal issue.
Student Experience
Graduate students gained professional development by their involvement on the workshop planning committee, chairing workshop sessions, presenting papers, and publication opportunities.
