CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF WOMEN AND GENDER – UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK
Gender, Displacement and Feminist Methodologies: Researching Border Struggles of Women and LGBTQ Migrants
This webinar offers a panel of three presentations by feminist ethnographers in sociology and anthropology from India, Italy and Bangladesh. The researchers will present from their doctoral and post-doctoral research on how refugee policy is gendered in India, Italy and the UK, how women and LGBTQI migrants from the global South respond to such policies, and how we can use their narratives of border struggles ethically without producing epistemic violence. The papers focus on three feminist studies in migration and refugee studies: one doctoral study with Mediterranean migrant women and LGBTQI lived experiences in Italian border, one postdoctoral research with LGBTQ asylum-seekers and undocumented migrant women in the UK, and one doctoral study with Afghan women refugees in Delhi (India).
Chair: Dr Stavroula Tsirogianni, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Chinese University of Hongkong and Shenzen, China
