Join us for a timely and critical panel discussion on the centrality of the exploitation of race and migrant mobility in the name of Silicon Valley capital. Drawing from his new book, Dr Matt Mahmoudi will lead a conversation with Professor Myria Georgiou, Professor Graham Denyer Willis, and Dr Amy Gaeta, moderated by Professor Caroline Bassett, exploring how digital urban infrastructures have become a new frontier for racial capitalism and border imperialism. From Fortress Europe to the US southern border and its cities of sanctuary, they explore how tech companies are transforming urban spaces into sites of surveillance and control.
