I am currently reading and reviewing "Abolitionist Intimacies: Queer and Trans Migrants Against the Deportation State" by Luibhéid. Luibhéid (2025) intervenes in deportation and queer and trans scholarship, centering the experiences of queer and trans migrants and allies who oppose deportation.
How do migrants engage politically across borders? Using survey data from Switzerland, @I. Pap, @V. Petrović, and @J. Rössel show that political participation in countries of residence and origin can coexist, but varies depending on political attention and news consumption.

What makes a place a transit space in migration journeys?Based on fieldwork in Necoclí, Colombia, @C. Broussy shows how transit is not a fixed category but a lived, socially and affectively produced space, shaped by practices, local actors, and overlapping governance regimes

I highly recommend attending "Immigration Seminar Series - Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present" by Nancy Foner. I love her article on "Race and Color: Jamaican Migrants in London and New York City." It is one of my favorite articles. I look forward to this!

An interesting excerpt of Chapter 12: Visual Rhetoric- Reading Rhetorical Theory. I love how it provides insight into visual culture, especially Norman Rockwell's painting "The Problem We All Live With." #visualculture #rhetoric
A special Happy Birthday to Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison!!!

I absolutely love how this archival site: The National Archives highlights The Mangrove Nine Protest. The Mangrove Nine involved a group of Black Caribbean activists (largely from Trinidad and Tobago) who led a protest in Notting Hill.
Chavez (2021) also utilizes this concept to tackle diasporic populations such as African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Chinese Americans.
I recall reading "The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance." Chavez (2021) makes a unique contribution by coining the term "alienizing logic". Alienizing logic means a way of thinking about how certain members belong and how others do not, despite their citizenship (Chavez 2021).
Wynter (2003) argues that the over-representation of man indicates that the white male bourgeois, and colonial meanings of humanity are misrepresented as the general human experience. There is an over-centralization of Western bourgeois men within humanity. #caribbeanwomenphilosophy #wynter
philopedia.org/traditions/c...
I love this Philopedia. It explains Caribbean philosophy, including: 1) the historical construction of Caribbean thought; 2. Debates in the field of study, 3. Caribbean Philosophy, Marxism, and Political Economy, and 4. Decolonial Caribbean feminist thinkers.
😍😍😍.
Boyce Davies (1994) asserts that “in each home place, she sets up a network of relationships based on kin, community, spirituality, and a fundamental presence organized around service and disruption of the very specific norms of that community” (p.1). #caroleboycedavies
