She is the award-winning author of Undoing Border Imperialism (AK Press, 2013) and Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (Haymarket, 2021), and co-author of Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration and Red Women Rising: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

The talk will begin at 2pm PT, followed by a Q & A session and informal reception. RSVP Now. 

We hope you can join us!
