Emily Gilbert is a Professor of Geography and Canadian Studies at the University of Toronto. Her research deals with questions relating to citizenship, mobility, borders, and security, and addresses how North American geopolitical relations are being reshaped through the idea of risk – both economic and social – as it has been used to discipline behavior and promote new forms of citizenship. Her publications include the co-edited volumes, Nation-States and Money: The Past, Present and Future of National Currencies (1999), War, Citizenship, Territory (2007). Her recent article, “Elasticity at the Canada-US border: Jurisdiction, rights, accountability” seeks to understand how legal jurisdiction is being reworked territorially, and the way that the law gets attached to particular bodies.
