SUMMARY:International Graduate Student Conference: Borders\, Power and Transgression
DESCRIPTION:A border is what separates things\, and the border’s very existence is inseparable both from the power that sustains it and from the possibility of its transgression. In recent years\, the relationship between borders—political\, geographical and symbolic—and State power has taken on a special significance in the public arena. Transgression\, for its part\, is an ambivalent term\, as it may encompass very different ideas—from resistance against oppression to the erosion of institutions on behalf of authoritarianism or corporate profit. Analyzing borders and power must take this ambivalence into account.\n\nIn this conference graduate students from the US and the world will discuss borders as a broad and fluid concept\, encompassing not only geographical or political boundaries\, but also questions like gender\, race\, ethnicity\, discursive practices\, and more broadly\, notions like limit\, frontier\, division and critique. There will be contributions from a variety of disciplines in the social sciences\, the humanities and the arts. \n\nRegister to attend this conference and the keynote talks here. \n  \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\nKEYNOTE GUESTS\n\n\nPANEL ABSTRACTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynotes \nApril 7\, 3:00PM to 4:30PM (PST)\nConversation with historian Christine Hünefeldt: Crafting Borders?\nWith the participation of: Marlene Torres-Magaña and Emma Zamora Garcia.\nCHRISTINE HUNEFELDT\nProfessor Emeritus\, History\, University of California San Diego\n\nApril 8\, 1:30PM to 3:00PM (PST)\nBorder Thinking & Living la Vida Fronteriza (the Border Life)\nMELISSA WRIGHT\nProfessor\, Geography\,  Pennsylvania State University\n\nApril 9\, 2:00PM to 3:30PM (PST)\nAssessing the Damage: Reflections on the Trump Administration’s Dismantling of the U.S. Asylum System\nKAI MEDEIROS\, J.D.\nStaff Attorney\, American Bar Association\, Immigration Justice Project\, San Diego

SUMMARY:Criminalizing Immigrant Families: Race\, Gender\, and Family Separations at the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Race and gender have shaped the law\, public policy\, and the emotional and physical experiences of migration throughout history.  At the present moment\, however\, shifting patterns of migration and the current administration’s use of family separation as a deterrent has led to an intense struggle to define migration\, the migrant\, and the family. This conference explores these struggles on both sides of the border from historical and contemporary perspectives. \nThis event is free to the public and is Co-Sponsored by LAIS.

SUMMARY:LAIS Undergraduate Student Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:The displacement of peoples fleeing violence and extreme poverty in their home countries is one of the most pressing problems worldwide. Some telling examples are taking place in Latin America. According to the UN and Doctors Without Borders\, an estimated 500\,000 people flee Central America for Mexico and the US every year\, and around 3 million people have left Venezuela since 2014. Every year\, Spain and Portugal receive thousands of refugees from conflict-ravaged regions in Africa and the Middle East. This situation impacts local communities\, national politics\, and transnational relations\, and has fostered political extremism\, exploitation\, and organized crime. Climate change will aggravate this problem in coming decades\, as land and resources become scarcer.\n\nThis academic conference aims to bring together undergraduate students from California for a discussion on Displacements: peoples\, politics\, and rights in Latin America and the Iberian World. We welcome papers and presentations from different disciplines across the social and natural sciences\, the humanities\, and the arts that address the theme of displacements\, broadly understood: the displacement of peoples\, but also of cultures\, objects\, and ideas.\n\n\n\n\nConference Program P1\n\n\n\nConference Program\, Weds 4/10\, P2\nConference Program\, Thurs 4/11\, P3\nConference Program\, P4
