WMGST-310 Crossings and Transgressions: On Migration and (Im)Mobilities
The current global moment is marked by border-crossings and border-transgressions where not only people are on the move, but also ideas and images about them. The refugee, the migrant, the domestic worker and the terrorist—itinerant figures of different orders—inspire narratives about what constitutes "human nature" and inhumane practices. This course explores the multiple meanings of mobility and stasis by examining the (dis)placements and circulations of people, things, and ideas along with the (folk)tales that accompany migration and related discourses on race, gender, and sexuality.
