Securitisation of Nature, Displacement and Unfree labour in Brazil's Amazon

Project

Principal investigator Francis Portes Virginio (Principal Investigator)
Description
This project examines the experiences of unfree labour within migrants and internally displaced communities in Brazil`s Amazon during Brazil's rightward turn. Drawing upon the life stories of displaced workers and ethnographic documentation of their living conditions, this study intends to provide new theoretical frameworks and policy-based recommendations to address the issues of forced displacement and slave labour in Brazil. This three-year study (2021-2024) will inform policy responses to SDG 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions; SDG 8 on growth and decent work; SDG 10.7 on orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people.
