Description
A large and increasingly diverse body of critical and interdisciplinary scholarship exists today at the intersection of mobility, migration, citizenship and border studies which explores the increasing securitization of movement and migration in so-called liberal contexts. Within this, focus has been placed in particular on the varied structures, mechanisms and processes which enable or maintain the exclusion, control, surveillance or differential inclusion of particular subject communities and groups be they minorities, refugees or asylum seekers. This work, cumulatively, has contributed much to our understanding of not only citizenship regimes and the ways in which they order movement, but of the shifting bases of contemporary mobility itself. This panel situates itself within this work, but also draws particular attention to the mobile struggle for rights waged by communities as they navigate routes and/or forge new and alternative pathways to rights as part of their everyday life and struggle for survival.
