This two-day workshop will explore the relationships between displacement, law, and time. Displacement is inherently spatial in nature as people are forced to leave their homes and communities, and migrate to new places. In response, states and empires have long sought to govern and control displaced people through spatial practices (border walls, refugee camps, carceral institutions) and legal regimes (political asylum, temporary protection, and refugee resettlement schemes). These practices and regimes (re)produce the idea that forced migrants are outside the (national) order of things and can lead to new forms of displacement. Scholars across the social sciences have made important contribution to understanding of this entanglement of law and b/ordering.
This online workshop contributes to this body of work by foregrounding the particular roles of time and temporality in the geopolitical struggles surrounding displacement. Bring together geographers and other critical scholars, this workshop will address the times and temporalities of refugee law, juridical practices, and spaces of protection as well as alternative temporalities and horizons of refuge(e) and migration justice.
