Barsky (Vanderbilt).\n\nThis talk\, inspired by Professor Barsky's latest book\, Undocumented Immigrants in an Age of Arbitrary Law: The Flight and Plight of People Deemed ‘Illegal’. (Oxon: Routledge\, 2015) will describe the experiences of undocumented migrants\, all around the world\, bringing to life the challenges they face from the moment they consider leaving th eir country of origin\, until the time they are deported back to it.\n\nDr awing on a broad array of academic studies\, including law\, interpretatio n and translation studies\, border studies\, human rights\, communication\ , critical discourse analysis and sociology\, Robert Barsky argues that th e arrays of actions that are taken against undocumented migrants are often arbitrary\, and exercised by an array of officials who can and do exercis e considerable discretion\, both positive and negative.\n\nRobert F. Barsk y is a Professor at Vanderbilt University. He has published widely in area s relating to language theory\, Convention refugee adjudication\, and bord er studies\, and he is the author of a trilogy of books about the milieus of Noam Chomsky and Zellig Harris.\n\nKindly RSVP to oppenheimer [at] mcgi ll.ca\n DTSTART:20151214T230000Z DTEND:20151215T003000Z LOCATION:NCDH 316\, Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 36 44 rue Peel SUMMARY:Undocumented Immigrants in an Era of Arbitrary Law The Flight and t he Plight of People Deemed 'Illegal' URL:/law/channels/event/undocumented-immigrants-era-ar bitrary-law-flight-and-plight-people-deemed-illegal-257262 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
