Previously he was professor in the Law Department o f Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and  visiting professor at th e Universidade Federal do Para in Brazil and the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. Most of his academic work is in the areas of legal theory\, i nternational law\, and law and the humanities.  Currently he is intereste d in the relationship between legal geography and the constitution of glob al value chains in the agricultural sector\, and he is working on issues o f transnational social mobilization\, in areas such as labor\, and the rel ationship with the constitution of space by law.\n\n \;\n\n"The Legal Geographies of the Agricultural Borderlands: Migrant Labor\, Food\, and Wa terways": This lecture is centered on the relationship between law and spa ce in places where territory\, jurisdiction\, and state control both are a mplified and collapsed\, such is the experience on the U.S. and Mexico Bor derlands. This territory is marked by the bodies of both of migrants force d to risk their lives crossing the evermore dangerous and extreme parts of the border but also the masses of formally and informally recognized agri cultural workers. Some of these workers are permanent residents\, others a re seasonal workers\, and still others have other legal status. Neverthele ss\, they represent the backbone of agricultural business in the U.S. They also have strong cultural\, family\, and economic ties to their homeland\ , both as fundamental links in global production chains in food products t hat are exported globally and even back to their communities in rural Mexi co and as important sources of financing with their remittances. Continuou s and massive migration from the Mexican rural landscape to the U.S. leave s many communities without agricultural expertise and dwindles their own p roduction. Categorized under the contradictory term of essential workers\, these workers have been made a priority under the migration policies of b oth the U.S. and Canada. These workers have also introduced new food stapl es and cultures in the U.S.\, and some of them have even developed their o wn food distribution systems. Finally\, the lecture will close with the te nsions around water sources in the border that are derived form agricultur al production in the North\, while diminishing the possibilities of social reproduction of communities in Mexico.\n\n \;\n\nVisiting Scholar Wil liam Brinkman-Clark will introduce the speaker.\n\n \;\n\nSuggested Re adings:\nPaqueteros and Paqueteras: Humanizing a Dehumanized Food System\n \nBay View Irrigation Case.  Investment Arbitration.\n\n \;\n\n"Borde r Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditat ions on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interd isciplinary perspectives. The distinguished speakers -- architects\, lands cape architects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a philosop her\, an anthropologist\, and an attorney -- question conventions\, especi ally the conceptualization of migration as linear. They frame migration as a multivalent process\, considering the lived realities and material cond itions of migration\, historically and in the present. Migration in the Am ericas is more than just the movement and resettlement of bodies\, numbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in different places. Migration is n ot merely (dis)placement\, it is also a metamorphosis. Migrants are human beings who are transformed to the core by their movement\, and they transf orm not only their places of departure and arrival\, but the entire space that is filled with their journeys.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Ar chitecture Sciame Auditorium with remote option available.
