Today's @migtec coordination committee meeting just ended. Lots of ongoing & new initiatives to take good care of, but with this amazing team an always joyful&productive gathering. We say 'thank you' to Maria Ullrich for all contributions to MIGTEC & 'welcome' to Samuel Singler.
Super excited to present some conceptual work in progress at the MigTec Circle this month! I hope many of you can join and engage with the paper.
Relevant to the Border Criminologies Tech & Digital Futures group, and to thinking about private tech & surveillance more broadly (I hope!)
My article is now out in Geopolitics (OA)! Focusing on the IOM's MIDAS border control system in Nigeria, I analyze how the IOM depoliticizes a system that is linked to the expansion of crimmigration control. Border tech ppl, let me know what you think! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Our third panel of the day is focused on #policing , with Sanja Milivojevic and Samuel Singler, Hassan Moctar, and 🐦 Bird on the Wire (aka Leanne Weber). Talking about digital technologies, EU border externalisation and the creation and control of internal borders. #bordercrim10
