Project Overview
- Millions of people cross borders every year, for a host of reasons, including to flee political persecution and to escape crippling poverty. This project focuses on the ethical questions that emerge as migrants cross borders, as well as on those that emerge from recent attempts to make crossing borders more difficult. The project focuses on migrants of all types, including: refugees, temporary labour migrants, permanent migrants, irregular migrants, and stateless peoples.
