To arrive at a more specific understanding of how resilience-informed security assemblages shape global challenges, the project sets out to examine the production of urban security problematics in the context of migration. Empirically, it focuses on transnational networks where security challenges are shaped and circulated.
The project is particularly concerned with reconfigurations of gendered and racialized challenges, as well as new forms of ignorance.
