This project aimed to explore the historical and contemporary development of population flows and other kinds of human movement into, out of, through, and within North Africa and the intersection of that movement with systems of negotiation, adjudication, policing, and control. The theme of “Law and Movement” provided the framework for an interdisciplinary collaborative investigation by a group of 12-15 UC and California scholars of the Maghrib (broadly understood) with the secondary aim of establishing a wider scholarly network.
