Almost 2000 miles from the U.S. Mexico border, OSU and the greater Columbus community may seem distanced from the politics of the borderlands. Yet, we are greatly impacted by these politics in many ways, and members of our community live in borderlands right here in Ohio.
At this symposium, academics, activists, artists, and community members are teaming up to bring to light how the policies enacted in these borderlands have direct impacts on the lives of our immigrant neighbors, colleagues, family members, friends, and those who must reside under the protection of sanctuary.
We will use art and scholarship to interrogate the politics of south-to-north migrations in the U.S. Mexico borderlands, and the deaths and disappearances that result from U.S. immigration policies.
Free and open to the public.
