As part of our Speaker Series, Dr. Laura Madokoro offers three recommendations in connection with her upcoming talk, “’Otherness’ and the Politics of Sanctuary: Exploring the History of Refuge Over the Long Twentieth Century,” on March 3.
Sanctuary in Pieces: Two Centuries of Flight, Fugitivity, and Resistance in a North American City
Laura Madokoro
Sanctuary in Pieces traces two centuries of sanctuary practices in Montreal, examining how refuge-seekers navigated political and social forces. From fugitives to modern sanctuary city efforts, the book challenges idealized notions of sanctuary and explores its complexities in activism, policy, and community-making.
Sanctuary Everywhere: The Fugitive Sacred in the Sonoran Desert
Barabara Andrea Sostaita
In Sanctuary Everywhere, Barbara Andrea Sostaita reimagines sanctuary along the U.S.-Mexico border as a fugitive practice beyond fixed locations. Through fieldwork in migrant clinics, shelters, and detention centers, she explores how migrants and advocates create sanctuary on the move, resisting militarized enforcement and caring for both the living and the dead.
Migration Conversations
Hosted by Jamie Liew
Migration Conversations is a podcast that invites persons to share their migration stories. Hosted by Professor Jamie Liew, each episode is an in-depth conversation with people who have experienced the Canadian immigration system or other migration regimes up close. The podcast includes discussions with migrants, immigrants, lawyers, policymakers, advocates, and experts, aiming to highlight the challenges migrants face through their own voices (please note that the podcast does not provide legal advice).
