Socio-technical dimensions of EU border control

In this seminar, Bruno Oliveira Martins analyses recent trends in the growing digitalization of EU borders, from the militarization of systems of surveillance to the use of digital systems facilitating the externalization of borderwork to areas beyond the territorial borders of Europe. He will also ask more critical questions about the role and place of academic research in some of the processes analyzed above.
