DESCRIPTION:Robyn Maynard\n\nBorders\, Im/mobilities\, and the Transnationa
 l Politics of Black Struggle\n\nTalks will be held over Zoom and are follo

 ster/tZEscO-gqDspE9xJ7r-iPQHzdKMDRFTmH3_-\n\nAbstract: This talk examines 
 how past and present technologies of Black containment inform the politics
  governing border enforcement and explores Black diasporic organizing arou
 nd racialized and gendered regimes of im/mobility. It is centered around t
 wo inter-related questions: “How can we understand bordering practices dif
 ferently when we center technologies of control over Black mobilities?” an
 d “What can contemporary Black organizing around bordering and mobility te
 ach us about political life?” The talk forwards a transition\, abolitionis
 t analysis of how carceral state technologies developed to control Black m
 obility during and after the transatlantic slave trade has shaped the emer
 gence and proliferation of border controls across the West. Additionally\,
  Maynard engages the intellectual contributions of contemporary Black dias
 poric social movements against border controls\, exploring topics such as 
 the colonial afterlives of extractivism\, climate catastrophe and infrastr
 uctural disruption\, border violence\, and the sexual and gendered politic
 s of sanctuary in urban spaces.\n\nBio: Robyn Maynard is a Ph.D. Candidate
