Audie Klotz - Should Security ( Ever) Trump\nRights?

\n\n

Are the Trump administration’ s\nattempts to restrict entry into the US a response to legitimate securit y\nconcerns or an abrogation of basic legal protections for individuals an d\nfamilies? To what extent is Brexit\ndriven by concern of Eastern Europe an migrants or Syrian refugees? Do EU\ndesignations of “safe” countries or deals with Turkey and Libya to preclude\nmigration around the Mediterrane an undermine the non-refoulement\nnorm? Should anti-foreigner sentiment in South Africa be labelled xenophobia\, a\nterm typically associated with r acism? We can better understand these rising\ntensions between migration a s a potential security concern and a sphere for\nrights protections throug h the politics of threat construction. Three\ndimensions of security--inte rstate\, societal\, and human—provide distinct\nperspectives. Examples fro m around the world underscore that the inclusion of\nmigration within secu rity studies also requires a reassessment of the field’s\nEurocentric root s.


\n\nPrema Kurien -\n\nThe Socio-Political Inco rporation of\nSouth Asian Minorities in Canada and the United States \ ;\n

\n\n\n

My presentation\nwill draw on ongoing research to examine two minority religious groups of South\nAsian origin (Hindus and Sikhs) that have broadly similar patterns of migration\nto Can ada and the United States and have close ties with their compatriots\nacro ss the border\, but yet manifest divergent activism profiles around North\ nAmerican as well as homeland issues. My presentation will examine how dif ferent\nopportunity structures (both national and local)\, and differences in the\ncharacteristics of the groups\, shape how they frame their grieva nces and\nmobilize. It also aims to uncover the factors that influence the form that\ntheir mobilization takes\, specifically\, whether it is "ethni c\,"\n"racial\," or "religious." Focusing on Hindu and Sikh\ncommunities a nd advocacy organizations serving these groups in Toronto\,\nVancouver\, N ew York/New Jersey\, and northern California\, this project is being\ncond ucted both through interviews and analysis of available information about\ nthe organizations.
