https://www.facebook.com/events/1167715713409797/ In the face of
widespread closed border and refugee deterrence policies, how do
refugees challenge the nation state? The work of imprisoned
Iranian-Kurdish writer Behrouz Boochani offers an urgent case study
for how refugees can contest their legal and social exclusion. As a
novelist, journalist and activist, Boochani has exposed the hidden
abuse facing refugees detained by the Australian government in the
remote Manus Island detention centre, while being a detainee there
himself since 2013. Boochani will be joining us via video link from
Manus Prison to discuss his political resistance and his recently
released novel. He will be joined in conversation by Professor Mariano
Siskind, whose work explores theories of globalization and
cosmopolitanism, and Professor Anne McNevin, who writes on
transformations of citizenship and political belonging, and the
regulation of space in world politics.
