Main content

By Felicity Atieno OkothPublished: 17.03.2022

Karlsen's book draws on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Norway and sheds light on ambiguities in the state鈥檚 response to irregular migration that simultaneously cut through law, policy, and practice. Carefully examining the complex interplay between the geopolitical management of territory and the biopolitical management of populations, the book argues that irregularized migrants should be understood as precariously included in the welfare state rather than simply excluded.听The book is open access and can be found听.

In the seminar, Christine Jacobsen will have a conversation will Karlsen on her book after which Karlsen will take questions from the audience.

There will be mingling afterwards. Snacks and drinks will be provided. 听

If you have any respiratory tract symptoms you should stay at home.
