Panel: Gendered-Racist Regimes of Detention and Deportation.

Speakers and Paper title:

Dr Dorina Damsa: Gender, Race and Deportation in the Nordic Welfare State.

Dr Francesca Esposito: Racist-Gendered Regimes of Detention Violence.

Dr Dorina Damsa achieved a PhD in Criminology and the Sociology of Law from the Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Norway. Her research is centred around global inequality regimes, borderscapes, and im/mobility, at the intersections of citizenship status, gender, race, and class. Her approach relies on perspectives from border criminologies and feminist and post-colonial studies.

Dr Francesca Esposito is a Lecturer at the University of Westminster and  Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon (ICSU Lisboa). She is also Associate Director of Border Criminologies based at the University of Oxford. Francesca’s work focuses on immigration detention in Italy, Portugal and the UK, and, in particular, on the intersectional mechanisms of power and violence at play in these sites of confinement. Over the years Francesca has collaborated with various feminist, migrant-justice and abolitionist collectives.
