We are currently observing an increasingly polarised political landscape in the
Western world and beyond. Many groups are being targeted and marginalised,
and in particular, those who transgress normative boundaries, national borders
and sentiments of national belonging. These groups include refugees, gender
non-conforming people, indigenous populations, migrants and people with
disabilities. What are the legacies of these contemporary social injustices? Can
past experiences help us understand them? And how do we do justice to,
represent, and continue to learn from such legacies? In this workshop we will
address various states of vulnerability and transgression.
