RACE AND EMPIRE IN EUROPE'S BORDERS
This all-day event will examine the interactions between border practices and the character of the EU, exploring how the new lines of inclusion/exclusion drawn in Europe’s peripheries and on distant shores inform the political identity of the EU. This event hosts a number of speakers delivering a series of panels, each with its own focus, and the event will end with a film-screening with director Q&A!
