Description:
Combined anthropological approaches with interdisciplinary theories to explore varying experiences of mobility (such as migration, asylum, tourism, and travel) and immobility (such as border control, waiting, detention, and deportation) at their intersections with gender, sexuality, race, and class. By focusing on the concept of “(im)mobility,” students will learn how to analyze the complex and intimate relation between mobility and immobility and identify the discourses, practices, and policies that create both movement and stuckness in racialized and sexualized border-crossers’ lives.
