SRI Seminar Series: Jennifer Raso, “Concentrated power, diffused agency: The effects of digitalized border administration”
In this session, Raso explores how technologies that administer border and immigration policies construct another equally important, but less explored, subject: state agency. Drawing on a recent example from Canada, Raso demonstrates how digitalization simultaneously concentrates state power while diffusing agency, reflecting on what this means for legal accountability mechanisms and decision-making.
