ABOUT THE LECTURE
In this lecture, Professor Gibney focuses on banishment and the prehistory of denationalisation. He discusses the
history of banishment, different forms of banishment, the societal roles that banishment fulfilled. He also considers
the reasons why it was used and critiques on the usage of banishment as a punishment. He also addresses
the inherent connection between denationalisation and expulsion, as well as the differences between these two
processes.

Linacre College, Oxford, and Director of the Refugee Studies Centre. He is also Distinguished Fellow at the Munk School
of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto. He specialises in the political and ethical issues raised by
