Throughout the world, migrants are engaging in political action and practices and relations of solidarity and care. These ‘affective solidarities’ are also infusing feminist theory with new forms of political praxis. What types of knowledge and ways of knowing are manifested in, or have emerged through, migrants’ ethics and care practices? What potential do these knowledges and practices have to destabilize restrictive global regimes of mobility– enforced through state borders and policing– which reflect and reproduce capitalist and patriarchal oppression? In this class, we learn from human and nonhuman migrations through the lenses of feminist theory, STS, eco-social studies, and migrants’ affective solidarities. We will discuss contemporary migrant experiences and scholarship at the intersections of care, solidarity, ethics, and politics. We will also consider the role of ethnography in advancing social and ecological justice. I welcome student projects that are focused on or overlap with these themes and concepts.
