Masterclass with Saskia Bonjour “Intersectional perspectives on migration politics and practices”

17 04 2023

In this workshop, we explore the possibilities and pitfalls of applying an intersectional perspective to the study of migration practices and politics.

Which methodological tools and conceptual perspectives are best suited to explore how migration and migration governance are gendered, racialized and classed?

Date & Time: Monday 24 April 10:00-14:00 (CET)

Location: Dobra Street (Kampus Powiśle). The exact room will be announced closer to the event
