This talk, "The Rise, Endurance, and Fall of Refugee Camps on the U.S-Mexico Border: A case of a sociology of Border Violence" will be hosted by Bertha Bermúdez Tapia, assistant professor in New Mexico State University's Department of Sociology.
Talk summary: Dr. Bermúdez Tapia will discuss the rise of migrant camps on the U.S-Mexico border, explaining how transformations in immigration policies generate violent dynamics. Specifically, she will delve into the marginal spaces where migrants experience the now-pervasive practices of mass deportation and restriction of asylum in violent contexts in border cities.
