Migration is often presented as a ‘problem’ to be countered through 
restrictive and technologically advanced border regimes, and 
criminalised through surveillance and public discourses. However, 
technology can also enable migrants  advocate for change and build 
solidarity. This poster conference will explore current developments at 
the intersection of technology, borders and human mobility to understand 
the processes and implications of bordering across levels and scales. 
Understanding and addressing the complex role of technology is vital if 
we seek to dismantle systemic injustices, and foster inclusive, 
equitable and border-less societies.

The conference features a keynote talk from Dr Evgenia 
Iliadou (Independent Researcher), panel presentations from colleagues 
across the world and a roundtable discussion with academics, artists and 
practitioners in the fields of migration, borders and activism.
