Linda Bosniak
“Amnesty Ethics”

November 10
4:30-6:30
Room C197

The idea of “amnesty” has come to structure many debates over irregular immigration. While amnesty’s meaning is usually treated as self-evident, the term in fact signifies in a variety of normative directions. Contestations over amnesty’s legitimacy and proper application serve as a powerful site for analyzing debates over accountability, fault and emancipation in immigration as well as in other political settings.
