“…If flying is tied to class differentials and a broader hierarchy of subjectivities and varying levels of (im)mobility (see Cresswell, 2006;Wohl, 2005), it is also tied to the reproduction of capitalist social relations (see Young, 2019;Illich, 1974) as well as to injustice and the making of a world of inequality. An expression of this inequality is one's mobile status, as exemplified by categories such as "tourist" or "frequent flyer" (and the associated hierarchies within) (see Gössling & Nilsson, 2010;Nevins, 2018). As Young (2019:10) asserts, these categories "emerge from, and are necessary to, the flow and expanded reproduction of capital."…”

“…While there are many attendees from Canada, Martin points out, "a very populous country that shares a very long southern border with the United States" (Mexico) is "notable by its absence." In other words, who travels, how they travel and at what speeds (see Illich, 1974), and with degrees of difficulty in relation to the state (particularly across international border regions)-and, by extension, how much fossil fuel they consume-is to a significant degree a function of power, one associated with one's access to "nature" and its distribution (see Nevins, 2018). This is true within academia just as it is in the world as a whole.…”

“…As Coleman suggests (2012), placing violence at the US-Mexico border in relation to internal immigration policing makes it possible to draw deeper connections between these and other counterinsurgency practices that animate racialized US policing. For example, as Coleman (2012Coleman ( , 2007 and Joseph Nevins (2018Nevins ( , 2012 point out, undocumented immigrants are, in fact, more likely to be apprehended in transit at a distance from actual borders, whether traveling to work, school, or other daily activities that simply require movement, as well as at places of work or during migrations across and through border zones (see also Amoore 2013: 79 -104). In addition to the use of more conventional forms of apprehension by police, such as the traffic stop or checkpoint, as of January 2018, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has gained access to Vigilant Solutions' national database of more than 6.5 billion license plate scans, supplemented by license plate reader data provided by other police agencies throughout the United States (Maas 2018; Farivar 2018).…”

“…How citizenship helps, hampers and mediates the intricate relationship between climate change and mobility is an understudied phenomenon (albeit not without exceptions, see Baldwin 2012). Defining citizenship as membership of a nation-state becomes a pointless statementif not outright destructive, according to Isin and Nyers (2014) in today's world where hyper-mobility is only enabled by consumption of climate-ravaging amounts of fossil fuels (Nevins 2018). The luxuries of VIP lounges, safety shelters and gated urban spaces available to an elite fraction of the world population are restricted from the needy majority on the grounds of having the 'wrong' identity cards.…”
