https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76 Which migration situations from the reading sounded familiar or known to you? Which stood out as new or captivating to you? en-us 2022-01-27 13:21:13 UTC 2024-01-23 00:04:35 UTC hello@padlet.com merkillinen https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2015815412 Border surveillance is something that I care about, and have heard a lot about on the US/Mexican border]]> 2022-01-27 13:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2015815412 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016153341 I thought it was very interesting how citizenship is determined in Iran for children, that if the women was from Afghanistan and the man from Iran the children would be automatic citizens but in the opposite case you had to apply for citizenship and it might not be granted. ]]> 2022-01-27 15:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016153341 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016154666 We noticed that some of the photos in the museum have primarily women migrating. There are primarily women in the work field as well. Even though they leave their home countries due to violence, the gendered based violence follows them to their new country. ]]> 2022-01-27 15:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016154666 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016158365 I thought it was heartbreaking that 68 million people were displaced by conflict in 2017. ]]> 2022-01-27 15:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016158365 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016160755 We were particularly drawn to he US Border control and immigration  aspect of the reading. Our conversation turned towards just different ways geography is determined or looked at and how it can be very unevenly applied. ]]> 2022-01-27 15:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016160755 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016161814 I was curious to see how geographers use technology to track migration. The historical change of migration resulted from technology change worth analyzing. Besides, the psychological impact of migration on immigrants is important and new to us.]]> 2022-01-27 15:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016161814 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016162238 The term embodied mobilities was really impactful for me! I think it takes a holistic approach to understanding migratory experiences. This is really important with consideration to harmful and dehumanizing language surrounding migration (alien, illegal, etc.)]]> 2022-01-27 15:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016162238 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016164206 We knew about the disparity between men and women but how women are not valued for their reproductive ability and are instead sent back to their country once they're not able to do hard labor.Even when they re trying to escape the violence due to their gender they are discriminated in the new country they migrate to]]> 2022-01-27 15:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016164206 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016165739 I knew about border surveillance and and the inequality in the justice system for immigrants. But it was interesting to see concepts that I have never heard of before, like timespace. What does that mean and/or look like? ]]> 2022-01-27 15:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016165739 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016166362 It was interesting to think about how persons who hold various intersectionalities on he basis of race, ethnicity, immigration status, sexuality, etc can be inherently oppressed by policies and procedures around immigration and border control. This made us think about how geography as a study is an interdisciplinary one that is affected heavily by political atmosphere, economics, international affairs, etc.]]> 2022-01-27 15:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016166362 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016166789 We were interested in how technology is used by the gov't to track migrants and wonder how this advancing technology will affect migration at large. We were unfamiliar with the idea of "biometric border", and would like to examine it further. We're interested in exploring the relationship between bodies, the border, and technology.]]> 2022-01-27 15:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016166789 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016167712 I found it interesting how the authors created a broad survey of the field but included a great amount of detail on specific studies within geography. I was drawn to the section that discusses violent border practices and the ways in which governments enforce these tactics as a form of biopower.]]> 2022-01-27 15:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016167712 https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016167774 We talked about being very curious about how technology used for migration has changed over time & has been impacted by external factors. The combination of technology and migration is not something we knew much about. Additionally the use of social media in migration was fascinating. We also were curious about how mapping impacts migration and what counter mapping is.]]> 2022-01-27 15:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/merkillinen/awa6iauj3mrevx76/wish/2016167774
