Thursday, October 8<\/strong> marks the first event in the Mellon Sawyer Seminar series, with the theme,\u00a0Humanitarianisms: Migrations and Care Through the Global South<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0convened by Professor Cabeiri Robinson and Professor Arzoo Osanloo.<\/p>\n

This first live webinar features a presentation by Dr. Anne McNevin<\/strong> (Professor and Chair of Politics at the New School for Social Research), a focused question\/ discussion, and an open Q&A session.\u00a0 In her talk \u201cSovereignty, Welcome, and Epistemic Hospitality,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> Dr. McNevin examines the practices of Australian Aboriginal elders and activists who began to issue First Nation passports to refugees and asylum seekers detained and deterred under the terms of Australian border security after 2010.\u00a0 Her talk prompts us to consider how immigration detention policies in off-shore location places like Manus Island as a part of Australia\u2019s \u201cPacific Solution\u201d \u00a0were rationalized in terms of humanitarian protection, and were deeply grounded in administrative strategies of removal, separation, and enclosure that long categorized White Australia\u2019s colonial and post-colonial treatment of aboriginal peoples, who have sometimes identified as refugees within their own country.<\/p>\n

Thursday, November 12, 2020, 3:30 – 4:30 pm<\/a> | Mellon Sawyer Seminars “Humanitarianisms” Series: Ilana Feldman and Pamela Ballinger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ilana Feldman, \u201cHumanitarian Rights and Palestinian Presence\u201d<\/strong>
\nPalestinian refugees have long insisted both that humanitarianism is a right and that it entails specific obligations. Although the idea of humanitarian rights might seem an oxymoron, Palestinian efforts show that even as such demands may not have the force of law, they have, at least sometimes, been effective in changing practice.<\/p>\n

Pamela Ballinger, \u201cProvincializing the 1951 Geneva Convention on Refugees\u201d<\/strong>
\nA rich body of scholarship has highlighted the particularistic and Eurocentric nature of the 1951 Convention. Less studied, however, are the ways in which the refugee definition also excluded many European displaced persons from recognition. Ballinger\u2019s talk recuperates the complex efforts to categorize displacees in the Italian peninsula in the early postwar period, notably migrants produced by Italian decolonization. The Italian case offers an alternative pre-history to the Convention, one that further provincializes (to employ Chakrabarty\u2019s term) the regime of international law and assistance developed around the Convention.<\/p>\n
