Continuing with the CHCI-GHI 2020-2021 Webinar Series on the issue of
“MIGRATION, LOGISTICS AND UNEQUAL CITIZENS IN CONTEMPORARY
GLOBAL CONTEXT” during times of the COVID-19, the topic of October’s
webinar is “Pandemic, Border Politics, and Xenophobia.” The speakers for this
panel are Alain Brossat, Yuan-Horng Chu, Rafal Smoczynski, and Juan
Alberto Ruiz Casado. Each of them will offer us their critical point of view on
current issues such as the drastic turn in biopolitics during the pandemic, the
situation of the uncertainty of the internal migrant workers within China after
the crisis caused by COVID-19, the “moral panic” of migrants in the UK in the
post-Brexit age, or the effects of Sinophobia and the anti-China narrative on
Taiwan and the Taiwanese identity construction.
This webinar aims to open a forum where all GHI participants, speakers, and
researchers from partner institutions can exchange their experiences, points
of view and research results with a critical perspective on aspects of border
politics, identity, and inequalities from a global and current perspective. This
webinar will be open to the public both online as well as in person at room
106A in HB building 2, NCTU, increasing the opportunities for discussion and
exchange.
