[Conley Riner, Robin]

Margaret Dorsey and Miguel Diaz-Barriga are doing really interesting and timely work on the border situation in the U.S. from a legal anthropology perspective. Here’s one of their papers:

Subject: [Linganth] ling anth scholarship on borders and walls? AAA task force

Dear colleagues,
What linguistic anthropological scholarship exists on borders and security walls, particularly in terms of implications for populations living in the affected regions? Please send me suggestions of research/publications that should be considered for a report for the AAA’s Proliferation of Border and Security Walls Task Force (APBWTF) at khoffman at northwestern.edu<mailto:khoffman at northwestern.edu>. In addition to work in linguistic anthropology, I am compiling a bibliography in legal anthropology on this topic, so any suggestions would be welcome.

The AAA request asks that the task force:
“Investigate and prepare relevant evidence that documents the global proliferation of border and security walls, as well as the impacts of these walls. This includes, but is not limited to, the displacement of native peoples; increased militarization; forcing migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to take more dangerous routes; the division of communities and families; an increase in violence and death; environmental impacts, and the adverse effects of wall construction on archaeological and cultural heritage sites.”
Thank you in advance, and apologies for cross-posting.
