Louis Everuss's Digital Mobilities and Smart Borders

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss shamelessly self-promote Louis’s monograph, Digital Mobilities and Smart Borders: How Digital Technologies Transform Migration and Sovereign Borders (2024), published by DeGruyter. They want listeners to know that there is a special 20% off discount code they can use, ‘DGBMOBILITIES’, if they want to purchase this work through the following link: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110714050/html. (Aren’t Eric and Louis some of the most generous sociologists you know?) Eric and Louis cover some of the key arguments Louis’s book advances. They talk about why it’s important to study and theorise borders from a sociological viewpoint and why it’s necessary to investigate how digital technologies have transformed the ways borders are socially constituted and experienced. By the end of the episode, it will be hard for any listener not to arrive at the conclusion that Louis has truly produced a work of great intellect and brilliance.
