Event Description

In this Public Philosophy Discussion, we will be considering an essay that outlines four theses drawn from Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism and how the stateless status of undocumented migrants creates a tendency towards totalitarian policies. We will explore how we may be seeing this statelessness and attendant curbing of rights spread and infect the State's conception of the population as a whole, and try to think through what we as citizens can do to stop this erosion of rights.
