2024/25

Welcome to the new module on Border Controls, Citizenship, and the State! 

During the next term, we will explore the historical and contemporary intertwining of migration controls and criminal justice through different interdisciplinary lens -sociology, law, criminology, politics, anthropology, migration studies, philosophy.

We will study this intertwine in light of key questions in criminology and the sociology of punishment: what is crime? who are criminals? and what is the purpose of punishment?

As migration and citizenship are becoming key in the exercise of state powers under contemporary conditions, we will discuss the implications of the merging of criminal justice and border controls functions.
