Mexico has been mired in a cycle of violence for decades. According to some experts, the Mexican State's violation of human rights is so severe that it has reached the stage of necropolitics, while others believe it has reached the stage of necromachine. Despite being part of the prosperous "CaliBaja" region, Tijuana has positioned itself in the national rankings as the epicenter of criminal violence over the last two decades. During the workshop, undergraduate students will participate in a series of dynamics in which we can deconstruct and reconstruct the concept of cross-border necropolitics.
