This Month on VIMM
We will be hosting our monthly seminar on November 12th, where we will be joined by Fox Fellow and PhD Candidate Samah Rafiq who will be presenting on her work: ‘Privatisation in Bordering and Mobility Control.’
Samah is a Fox Fellow with MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University, as well as a PhD Candidate at the Centre for International Politics, Organization and Disarmament at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her PhD research attempts to unpack the idea of risk associated with contemporary forms of border control, further exploring the historical and contemporary notions of the conceptions of citizens and noncitizens, and the relationship of border policing and management to contemporary form of nation-states.
