RFS \u2018Fringe\u2019: Borders, Asylum and Displacement in Times of Global Crisis

The RFS Fringe will reflect on interventions on the current state of asylum, humanitarianism, & border control at a time of global upheaval.
About this Event

The last few years have seen a worldwide escalation in border deaths, right-wing attacks on asylum rights and the lives of migrants, a resurgence of fascism, the erosion of international law, and the re-normalisation of militarism, rearmament, imperial war, and genocidal violence from Palestine to Sudan. This raises urgent questions about the future of asylum, humanitarian aid, and migrant futures. Are ideas of liberal ‘hospitality’ still fit for purpose in a world increasingly hostile to any rule of law? How might we fruitfully connect racism, border violence, and inequality to the resurfacing of imperial geopolitics? And how can we resist, refuse, and abolish the systems that continue to harm our communities, humanity, and planetary life itself.


A series of speakers will offer short 10-minute interventions to address these and other relevant questions. This will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
