What are borders, what do they do, and whom do they serve? Borders tend to be created and justified as a response to a crisis, but how do they exacerbate and produce crises and function as zones of exception? Examining the US-Mexico border and the university in the time of COVID, the participants in this webinar grapple with these questions in their contributions to “From ‘Crisis’ to Futurity: Migration and Borderlands in the 21st Century,” a collaboration of Public Books and the Migration Scholars Collaborative. Please join us at this virtual roundtable as we continue the important conversation about borders “From ‘Crisis’ to Futurity” initiated.
