Policing the corridor

Haralambous’s research examines Europe’s maritime border regime as a moving field of policing, surveillance, interdiction, and evasion. The Mediterranean corridor is not simply a line between points of departure and arrival; it is produced through overlapping infrastructures of mobility control, jurisdiction, rescue, enforcement, and clandestine movement.

The lecture placed particular emphasis on the ways migrant routes are continually reshaped by policing practices and by the forms of subterfuge through which people attempt to survive and move across the maritime border regime.

What happens when the route becomes the border?

Speaker

Chloe Howe Haralambous was a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in Princeton University’s Society of Fellows at the time of the lecture. The event presented material from her ongoing research and brought questions of migration, maritime policing, and European border governance into public discussion at Mount Royal University.
