Technology and Migration

Global Humanist Shoptalk by M L Clark

Episode notes
In this final miniseries for Season 2, "Migration and Mobility Rights", we reflect on the arbitrary nature of national borders, in light of humanity's much more fluid histories of movement. In this episode, we reflect on how much technology has had to be developed - and often at further cost to human well-being - just to maintain our notions of rigid borders. Is this really the best use of our creative capacities? Does our fixation on upholding rigid borders come at other costs to human thriving?
