Much scholarship on mobilities focuses on how marginalized people are excluded from the opportunities presented by moving freely. For these people, the right to movement is actively controlled by a global mobility system structured by nation-states and corporations. In this course, we will explore the various technologies, in addition to financial and social capital, used to prop up or circumvent these formalized global (im)mobility infrastructures. While governments and corporations use artificial intelligence and big data, to enforce policies that surveil and manipulate people’s movement, migrants and cross-border traders are increasingly using various software applications to facilitate their movement and survival. Taking a critical approach, we will examine how technologies, including the Internet and mobile phone apps, are transforming mobility across a variety of borders, from the perspective of governments, corporations, and migrants and traders. We will consider what these variably used technologies reveal about juxtaposing mobility regimes, and if the presence of “shadow mobility infrastructure(s)” (Spijkerboer, 2018) necessitate a re-framing of how political geographies are understood.
