Description

Mass deportation from the U.S. is a racist, classist, and sexist program of state violence. Of the over 400,000 people removed from the U.S. annually, 93 percent are men. How do migrants understand their deportation and their gendered selves in relationship to it? Dr. Katie Dingeman, professor of sociology at Cal State LA and Center for the Study of Genders and Sexualities Faculty Fellow, will discuss the disparate ways men and women have been historically targeted by the deportation regime. Presented by the Center for the Study of Genders and Sexualities.
