In 1992, shortly after independence was declared from Yugoslavia, the Republic of Slovenia erased nearly 18,000 people from the register of permanent residence. These people – many of whom had been born elsewhere in Yugoslavia – were effectively rendered stateless. Activists and researchers Barbara Beznec and Andrej Kurnik will discuss the efforts of the Association of the Erased to seek justice in the broader context of European struggles for migrant rights.

Barbara Beznec is the Editor of the Journal for the Critique of Science. Andrej Kurnik is Professor of Political Science at the University of Ljubljana. Together they translated into Slovene Michael Hardt &amp; Antonio Negri's works Empire, Multitude , and Commonwealth.
