About this event
Dr Reece Jones (Hawaii, Dept of Geography)
Over forty thousand people died trying to cross international borders in the past decade, with the high-profile deaths along the shores of Europe only accounting for half of the grisly total. This presentation argues that these deaths are not exceptional, but rather are part of a long history of state attempts to protect wealth and privilege through movement restrictions on the poor.
