7.30pm Wednesday 24 October Borders: The good, the bad and the ugly
Do we need borders at all? Ruben Andersson’s talk took a broad sweep across contemporary and historical borders, starting and ending at Europe’s fortified frontiers, with a double purpose – to show how bordering shifts over time, and asked whether we should aim for ‘good borders’ rather than ‘no borders’ as we grapple with the deadly consequences of walling off countries and continents. A large audience interacted in a lively way with his ideas.
Ruben is an Associate Professor of Migration and Development at Oxford University.
