Description

Humane Exclusion: How States Justify Excluding Refugees. This is a project about the idea of humanity and how this concept is deployed. Specifically, it aims to understand and critique the contemporary phenomenon of humane exclusion: humane-sounding justifications for the exclusion of refugees. The work will innovate via a unique framework for understanding today’s prevailing claims, involving analysis of how they echo historical justifications for controlling the movement of Indigenous peoples, minorities, slaves, and other vulnerable groups. It will be the first holistic examination of the ethics of humane-sounding claims and practices of refugee exclusion in the light of their histories, providing a means for Australia to consider, anew, how it might construct more ethical refugee policies..
