Between borders, the sea, and hospitality

Haiti, Latin America and the Canary Islands on the move

How can we think about hospitality in the context of migration, starting from the geographical, conceptual, and aesthetic shift from land borders to the sea? This conversation seeks to explore this question by bringing into dialogue the recent work of three researchers on migration dynamics in three geographical locations: Haiti, Latin America, and the Canary Islands.

Participating in the event are Sergio Rodríguez-Blanco , research professor in the Department of Journalism and New Media, Complutense University of Madrid, Ángela Iranzo , professor and researcher of International Relations (IR) in the Department of Political Science and IR of the Autonomous University of Madrid and Wooldy Edson Louidor , Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Haiti to the Kingdom of Spain, professor and researcher at the Pontifical Javeriana University (Colombia).
