May: Between the space of borders
Monday 12 May
2pm to 3pm
Online via Zoom
30 minute presentation & 30 minute open discussion
With Dr Jonathan Laskovsky
Jonathan will focus on two different modalities of borders that intersect his research interests across both his professional and academic careers.
Firstly, he will discuss ideas in relation to what Andrew Benjamin calls border conditions – the particularities at border sites and the way in which these are configured and coded through context.
He will also explore the particular the way data can be used in relation to borders both in terms of surveillance and transgression, and patterns of resistance and transgression.
Secondly, Jonathan will discuss ideas in relation to the borders of disciplines, and how conceptual approaches to border studies are shifting and opening up beyond the cartographic and sociological – a key outcome of the recent Borders as both site and method conference.
He will explore this theme in relation to his professional role in research, and observations he has made building data support for research bids and advocating for change through university channels in relation to data.
