"Often the newscasts open with urgent information that are already familiar and that refer to" caravans of migrants ",
"Rescue operations", "wall construction" or "jumping to the fence".
These have in common the fact of referring to situations related to human mobility and, fundamentally, with the treatment that national states provide through their border administration policies.
The two activities of this short cycle are intended to offer an analysis of these phenomena in the light of research work carried out by specialists in the southern border of Mexico and in the southern border of Spain. "
