Beyond Sanctuary

Sanctuary, as problem and promise, casts light on the place of racial others in the liberal democracies of the West. This convening marks the publication of Beyond Sanctuary: The Humanism of a World in Motion, which thinks across the United States and Europe to critically interrogate policies and philosophies of sanctuary and asylum. Taking place in occupied Los Angeles at a time of resurgent white nationalism, these dialogues are intended to resituate the imperial West in the global histories – and possibilities – of decolonization and abolition.

Land and Labor Acknowledgement: As a land grant institution, UCLA acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the taraaxotam (Indigenous peoples) in this place. We pay our respects to Honuukvetam (Ancestors), elders, and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.We hold sacred the labor of enslaved Africans and immigrants, often exploited, indentured and underpaid, that built and continue to serve our institutions of higher education. We honor the labor and resistance of these ancestors, acknowledge that we benefit from this land and labor, and strive to work towards liberation for all.
