Pandemic Borders: Examining the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic
CERC Migration partners with to create a to examine the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic raises for vulnerable residents and workers at and within national borders.
More than 80 international scholars from 12 countries were invited to provide commentary on the issues that are keeping them awake at night. Writers share their perspective on how decisions that are made at the highest level have a rippling effect throughout our world. But they also provide a spotlight on signs of resilience and solidarity within national borders as well as across boundaries of ethnicity, gender, age and class.
