DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Claire Loughnan\, University of Melbourne\n\nThe rec
 ent deaths of US citizens at the hands of that country’s ICE agents sign
 al disturbing patterns of violence and misconduct that are spilling over
  in ways that have been enabled by Trumpist politics. But such patterns 
 are not new. They are the product of an accumulation of harsh border pol
 icies and laws over several decades\, across the globe. They also reveal
  the blurring of policing and militarized practices as part of contempor
 ary border politics. Drawing on research in her forthcoming book\, Clair
 e Loughnan will explore the impact of harmful migration and border setti
 ngs\, upon those working within them. This book traces the ethically cor
 rosive effects of punitive responses to 'irregular' refugee movement on 
 the institutions of government\, and on the agencies\, organisations and
  the individuals implementing these policies.\n\nClaire Loughnan is a Se
 nior Lecturer in Criminology in the School of Social and Political Scien
 ces at the University of Melbourne. She has published widely on the effe
 cts of Australia’s harsh border control policies. Her research focuses o
 n the modes\, practices and experiences of confinement in places of ‘car
 e’ and control\, ranging from detention and prisons to aged care. Claire
  is an advisory committee member and book review editor for the Carceral
  Geography Working Group of the Royal Geographic Society\, a co-convenor
  of the University of Melbourne branch of Academics for Refugees\, and a
  member of the Australia The Optional Protocol to the Convention against
  Torture (OPCAT) Network.\n\nPlease note that we will be hosting pizza/d
 rinks at Sandbar following the lecture. All welcome to join!\n\n\n
