REOPENING EUROPE - Reopening Borders?

In June 2020, as Europe reopened after lockdown, we crossed ten
national borders. We listened to diverse citizens, from
passers-by to politicians, business people to artists, recording,
documenting, and publishing stories. 





In this second episode of Reopening Europe, we unpack some
reflections about borders and the pandemic which we have
collected along our journey. 





Giuseppe Porcaro is joined in by Martina Tazzioli, Lecturer in
Politics and Technology at Goldsmith University, London. Her work
is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach to political
theory, migration and border studies and political geography.
Recently, she has investigated the technologisation of the
borders and how technologies constitute a battlefield for
migrants, states and non-state actors.
