Borders and Public Health
Countries have long used international borders and control measures to manage migration, often citing public health concerns. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many borders became stricter, and even internal boundaries were created, all in the name of controlling the spread of disease. However, these measures sometimes carried racist or xenophobic undertones, and in some cases, they even harmed the very communities they were meant to protect. On the other hand, border restrictions also provided valuable time for societies to prepare for new and unfamiliar infectious diseases. Balancing these complex and often conflicting factors is a central focus of my research and writing.
