Apologies for cross-posting

******************

Dear all,


on behalf of Cecilia Vergnano and Ioana Vrabiescu please find the CFP for
their EASA Panel *P153* *Securitization of mobility within the
UK-EU-Schengen area
below:*



Convenors:

Cecilia Vergnano (University of Amsterdam)

Ioana Vrabiescu (University of Warwick)



*Short abstract:*

*This panel explores the growing securitization of mobility within the
UK-EU-Schengen area in relation to migration-crisis discourses. It welcomes
contributions on borderization processes, new forms of transnational
cooperation and various supra- and sub-state mechanisms reshaping
(im)mobilities across the EU.*

*Long abstract:*

"Migration crisis" discourses have driven the implementation of a selective
intra-EU mobility regime of non-EU asylum seekers as well as European
undesirable mobile citizens (such as Roma). Racialized categories of mobile
(non)citizens are governed through bureaucratic and spatial exclusions,
practices of policing mobility and borders, and state deportations. Against
these restrictive and oppressive measures, many people, propelled by
economic and social factors, keep on pursuing cross border mobility. Such
cross-border mobility can be studied from different perspectives; from
focusing on the strategies of migrants to examining security actors
(security professionals, policepersons, immigration bureaucrats, soldiers
and border guards), border-crossing facilitators (so-called smugglers,
activists for free mobility, supportive local communities) and civil
society (NGO workers, social movements). The proposed panel welcomes
contributions from scholars of migration and mobility, IR and security
studies who interrogate an emerging regime of differential bordering within
the UK-EU-Schengen area. How are state practices directed to the governance
of undesired mobilities enacted within the EU-Schengen framework? What kind
of mobility strategies of impoverished and racialized subjects can oppose
or elude state bordering practices? What forms of resistance do non-state
actors deploy in countering a state system of strict border control?
