Editors' Note

On April 7-8, 2011, the Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies hosted its nineteenth annual symposium entitled "Globalization and Migration" at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana. The scholars in this symposium consider the relationships between globalization and migration and highlight forms of displacement less frequently considered under the rubric of migration as well as novel approaches to the law. Part I examines how the European Union and the United States (state actors) and hospitals (nonstate actors) have controlled the movement of people. Part II examines human trafficking in Columbia and political activism among the Burmese diaspora. Part III examines past and present deportation regimes and how they have affected migrants in the United States. Part IV examines transnational marriage. Finally, Part V examines the notions of "citizenship" and the "right to belong."

The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies wishes to thank the authors and the discussants for their scholarly contributions and the thought-provoking discussions that arose from the conference.
