The Venezuela–Colombia Border: Epicenter of the Hemisphere’s Largest Migratory Crisis during COVID-19
No full textCOVID-19’s pandemic declaration worsened the Táchira–Norte de Santander border as the epicenter of the second largest forced migratory crisis in the world due to the Complex Humanitarian Emergency in Venezuela. COVID-19 changed the direction of the flow from emigration to returned migration, at a border that had already moved from open to semi-open, and since the pandemic, became closed to all formal movements.

No full textJustified in their Actions: A Historiographic Analysis of the Causes of the Spithead and Nore Mutinies of 1797
No full textJustified in their Actions takes an in-depth look at nearly two centuries of literature surrounding the Spithead and Nore Mutinies of 1797, one of the largest examples of collective action ever undertaken by any western military force. Despite arising from largely similar sources, the mutinies\u27 end could not have been more different—that of the Channel Fleet at Spithead resulted in the Royal Navy\u27s first pay raise in a century by Act of Parliament and a general pardon for all involved. The mutiny at the Nore, however, culminated in dozens of courts martial and over thirty hangings. In Justified in their Actions, the mutinies will be studied through the lens of the age-old debate of "sedition or ships\u27 biscuits," as it becomes clear that over-analysis of a subject can be just as dangerous as not studying it at all
"Whither Shall We Send Our Son?": A Prosopographical Analysis of Remittance Men in New Zealand
No full textThis article represents a unique exploration of the creation and lived experiences of British gentlemen exiled by family to the colonies during the nineteenth century. Known as remittance men, they constituted a small but consistent migrant type to British settler societies, and later became the subject of popular mythology. Remittance men have remained but footnotes in New Zealand historiography and their presence deserves greater scrutiny. Through prosopographical analysis, my research expands current knowledge of the historical contexts in which their identities were forged, and adds their stories to New Zealand\u27s current historiography of the nation\u27s early immigrants.
