The summer school on Migration and Gender offers a legal-literary approach to the ways in which migration influences gender. The course will discuss both this idea, and reversing the formula, it will examine the role of migration in shaping gender, understood as relational and performative. The course will model the ways in which the humanities and the imagination might inform legal processes or contour legal decisions. A particular focus will be on identity in relation to human rights and law, labor and culture. This summer school is particularly timely in this moment of history in which migration is transforming societies and shaping gender.
Suitable for: MA and PhD Students in Sociology, Gender Studies, Literature, Human rights, Law, Labor and Cultural Studies.
