The Invasive Other, 34th in the Social Research conference series<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Africa Event on 2016-04-20 12:00:00<\/i><\/p>\n

This conference is now free and open to the public! This conference is grounded on the premise that while seemingly of different orders, invasive others \u2013 whether people, plants, ideas or pathogens \u2013 are described in similar ways, and patrolled and controlled through similar technologies, logics and policies. Indeed, we expect the conference to reveal how the language and technologies intersect and play on one another. By placing these different \u201cinvasives\u201d alongside one another, we will learn more about the nature of Otherness in our world, and how it is managed, governed or exterminated.\u00a0 If we are to protect the rights of others, this knowledge is invaluable.\u00a0\u00a0 The Invasive Other Program \u00a0 DAY 1, Wednesday, April 20, 2016 \u00a0 12:00 \u2013 2:30 PM SESSION I:\u00a0People \u00a0 Strategies for Open Borders (i.e. no one is \u201cinvasive\u201d) \u2013 Mediterranean crisis and idea of the commons Bridget Anderson, Professor of Migration and Citizenship; Deputy Director of COMPAS Oxford University \u00a0 Analysis of Intersecting Language about Immigrants and Invasive Plants in South Africa Jean Comaroff, Alfred North Whitehead Professor of African and African American Studies and of Anthropology, Oppenheimer Fellow in African Studies, Harvard University \u00a0 Analysis of Mobility at the US-Mexico Border for Humans and Animal Life Juanita Sundberg, Associate Professor, University of British Columbia \u00a0 Moderator,\u00a0Ann Laura Stoler, Willy Brandt Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and History, The New School \u00a0 3:00 \u2013 5:30 PM: SESSION 2:\u00a0Pathogens \u00a0 Epidemics and Xenophobia David Napier, Professor of Medical Anthropology, University College London \u00a0 "Who's invading whom?\u00a0 Zika and the plastification of the planet."
