Join us for the next DEMIG Online Talk with Soledad Álvarez Velasco, Assistant Professor at UIC. She will discuss the transformation of migratory pathways across the Americas over the last decades amid global political developments.

📅 May 28th, 2025
🕒 3-4 pm CET

Event description: Over the past two decades, irregularized South–South transit migration across the Americas has reconfigured long-standing routes and produced new transnational corridors. This talk focuses on two such corridors: one connecting the Andean Region with Central America, and another linking it to the Southern Cone. Drawing on multi-sited and digital ethnography, as well as historical and geopolitical analysis, I argue that the proliferation of South–South transit migration – alongside the expansion and intensification of border regimes – has shaped these corridors into dynamic, unequal and deeply contested spaces. The Andean Region now functions as a critical connecting hub for migration flows moving both northward and southward. At the center of these shifting geographies are the everyday spatial struggles of migrants in transit – particularly those from Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa – whose repeated transits and forms of resistance challenge the logics of regional and global migration governance.

Impressive, must-watch video by three Yale professors explaining why they are leaving the US👇
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · May 14
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S.
The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

Confused about birthright citizenship? Have you heard of jus sanguinis v jus soli, but no clear idea what these terms mean? Why do countries apply different rules? Why does this matter?

Check out the profiles of these brilliant citizenship scholars ✨
