News The new politics of climate change: building political momentum and community support for adequate action on climate change

This seminar compares two approaches to theorising irregular migration: the first drawing on Agamben’s notion of the refugee as homo sacer (reduced to bare life) and the second which views irregularity as an expression of autonomy. Can these approaches capture the nuance of citizenship dynamics at stake and what political risks do they entail?
