Public Seminar

Convened by senior editor T. Alexander Aleinikoff, the Mobilities seminar on Public Seminar examines mobility, and immobility, in their many forms. Tackling issues relevant to our swiftly-changing world and questioning how we might better understand the permutations of mobility in a time of heated and divisive public debate, we investigate the construction of borders, the concepts of “forced” and “voluntary” migration, migrant and refugee political mobilization, the “othering” of migrants and refugees, the impact of mobility on cities, mobility of non-human species and global migration management.
