Vasiliki Makrygianni presented on "Governing the digital border"
Date:
May 28-29 Vasiliki Makrygianni participated at the workshop ‘Doing Digital Identities: Rethinking the Reconfiguration of State, Citizenship, and Infrastructure in Digital Statecraft-Organised’ by the ERC project “Doing Digital Identities” (DigID) at the University of Leuphana in Germany. Vasiliki contributed to the session “The (Un)Making and Negotiation of Digital ID Infrastructures” with a presentation entitled “Governing at the Digital Border: Migrants’ Digital Identities in the Greek Borderscape.” In her talk Vasiliki discussed how Closed Control Access Centres’ (CCAC) architectural politics affect the ways in which migrants’ enact identities and their spatial experience as they are translated into traceable/ deportable subjects.
Participating in the workshop provided a valuable opportunity to share research conducted at the intersection of migration and technology with researchers based in Nigeria, Germany, Netherlands, India, South Africa, France, Australia and UK. The outcomes of the workshop will be captured in a forthcoming Special Issue.
