Organs, Bodies, Borders: Unravelling Stories About Kidney Sales Shared by Migrants and Medical Professionals Across the Euro-Mediterranean Border.
Socio-economically marginalized groups are widely reported to be vulnerable to organ sale, with growing evidence that irregular or undocumented migrants face particular risks of kidney sale and forced organ removal. In the context of Europe’s increasingly exclusionary migration policies and continued organ scarcity, such practices are likely to persist or increase. Yet, little research has examined the motives and pressures behind migrants’ kidney sales or the experiences of transplant professionals with this issue.
On the 27th of November Sean Columb (a criminologist from the UK) , Eloisa Franchi (a transplant surgeon from Italy), and Zanna Ramaekers (an anthropologist from The Netherlands) will unravel stories of kidney sales shared by migrants and medical professionals. The presentations will be followed by a thought provoking discussion on how transplantation and migration governance shape lives, rights, and care.
The seminar is free, in person, and includes drinks and dinner at the Verhalen Huis Belvédère in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
