About the event
In her inaugural lecture, Professor Roza Tsagarousianou, will reflect on her family’s refugee history and on her research at the refugee camps in Moria and Kara Tepe on the Island of Lesvos in Greece, to engage with broader questions of whether we can understand the modern migration management system as an example of the carceral economies of control of ‘excess’ populations.
As we are facing a proliferation in the production of ‘excess’ populations, the result of conflicts and climate change, she will ask the following questions:
- How has migrant life, excluded from political rights, attained value to be extracted by private firms and across industries?
- And, what can we learn from the resilience and acts of resistance of those that are devalued, dehumanised and racialised?
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, to close at 7pm.
