Dismantling the Deportation Machine…
Dismantling the Deportation Machine: A Conversation on Migration, Expulsion, and Xenophobia
Join Carlos Martinez as he moderates a powerful discussion with Megan Carney, Heide Castañeda, and Gilberto Rosas on the urgent U.S. and global trends shaping the politics of migration, deportation, and xenophobia.
As authoritarianism and xenophobia intensify globally, this distinguished panel will offer critical insights into the shifting terrain of border enforcement, deportation policies, and immigrant solidarity. Bringing together diverse expertise, the speakers will help us make sense of how these dynamics are unfolding both at home and across the world. In conversation, they will not only examine the harms of exclusionary policies and hateful rhetoric but also highlight strategies and practices of resistance, care, and collective organizing.
These scholars are coming together to support the development of Carlos Martinez’s in-progress manuscript, Captive States: Migration and Expulsion on the Carceral Frontier. This event and subsequent workshop are sponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation’s Emerging Scholar Manuscript Workshops.
