Lecture – Re-bordering the crisis

The lecture develops understandings of crisis through examining discourses and practices of everyday (re)bordering at multiple levels and from a range of perspectives across time and space. Through focusing on the bordering experiences of the survivors of a fire in a London apartment together with those of others associated with that event, the lecture reflects on what the everyday situated intersectional approach to the study of bordering (Yuval-Davis, Wemyss, Cassidy 2019) can bring to the study of crisis.
