Philippe M. Frowd is an associate professor at the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on borders and migration, critical security studies, and African politics. He is the author of *Security at the Borders: Transnational Practices and Technologies in West Africa* (published in 2018 by Cambridge University Press) and is currently working on two parallel projects. The first project examines the automation and digitization of border security in Canada through e-visas, mobile apps, and airport kiosks. The second focuses on international intervention in the Sahel and the role of the G5 Sahel in the security architecture of West Africa. Philippe is an editor at the journal *Security Dialogue*.
