Biography

Karine Côté-Boucher is an Associate Professor in the Department of Criminology at the Université de Montréal. Her research focuses on the criminology of mobility and borders, with a particular interest in the organizations and policies governing border security. She studies how borders shape experiences and lives, and her background in sociology, anthropology, and refugee and migration studies informs her work. Côté-Boucher has conducted fieldwork with Canadian border agents and cross-border truck drivers. Her current research is organized around two main axes: the first examines the impacts of digital technologies and the automation of decision-making in immigration on border governance, while the second focuses on how social protection and immigration regimes ‘border’ social reproduction in an era of rapid aging and systemic gaps in care. She is a member of several research units and has supervised multiple postdoctoral projects related to migration and border control.
