This challenge aims to bring together students, researchers, and activists to create visualizations that help us see and understand the shifting geographies of sovereignty and border enforcement in new ways. Grounded in feminist approaches to visualization and mapping, this challenge invites participants to critically and creatively bring together data sources to visualize emergent border enforcement strategies and geographies of sovereignty. Participants will be provided with data from a National Science Foundation funded project examining public information campaigns as a strategy of border enforcement, as well as data sets on transnational migration and border enforcement in the US and Australia. A series of skills building workshops will provide participants with an opportunity to learn from and with feminist geographers, cartographers, and designers as we think through how we might use visual technologies to challenge narrow conceptualizations of where enforcement takes place and the mechanism used to govern transnational mobility.
