#introductionpost - thanks for reblogging!
In my work I theorize processes of #(de)migranticization, #boundarymaking, #bordering, and their production of #inequalities linked to #ethnicity, #racialization, #class, #gender. My work is anchored in #reflexivemigrationstudies and I am interested in #knowledgeproduction and power. I analyse the ways the logics of the #nation-state and #coloniality (in intersection with gender/sexuality/class) lead to contemporary forms of Othering/exclusions.
