Due to intensified immigration regulations and a climate of fear surrounding border control, several academic conferences in the U.S. have been cancelled or relocated. Organizers cite a decline in international attendance due to the restrictive policies of the Trump administration. They are migrating events to friendlier countries like Canada. This trend could harm the U.S.’s standing in the global academic community. Scholars believe these actions signal a troubling trend towards deglobalization, limiting collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers.
Conferences are an amazing barometer of international activity. It's almost like an external measure of just how engaged in the international world practitioners of science are.
What is happening now is a reverse moment. It's a closing down of borders, closing of spaces ... a moment of deglobalization.
