Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This presentation explores how irregular migration is governed through sharply differentiated city-level practices in Türkiye, revealing a hidden geography of pushbacks and pushforwards. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork in Van, Iğdır, Edirne, and İzmir, the webinar session demonstrates how border control varies dramatically across geopolitical contexts, migration routes, and European Union externalisation policies. By foregrounding cities as critical sites of migration governance, the analysis demonstrates how local actors, infrastructures, and spatial practices become central to managing irregular migration beyond formal legal categories.
The findings highlight the importance of city-level perspectives for understanding contemporary border governance and raise broader questions for European cities about responsibility-sharing, informal containment practices, and the human rights implications of differentiated migration control regimes.
