Border Criminologies Guest Twitter Project

We would like to invite you to the launch of the Border Criminologies Guest Twitter Project on Monday 7TH November! For this project, our Twitter account @Bordercrim will be taken over for one week by members of our network. The aim is to give the floor to emerging scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to share their work, ideas, opinions and news from their countries, etc. They will present issues related to migration and mobility, border policing and refugees, with particular attention on her/his area of expertise or experience.
