Research Note: Texas's Operation Lone Star Migrant Busing Program Increased Hispanic Homelessness in Destination Cities
As part of the largest and most expensive state-run immigration program in U.S. history, the state of Texas bused more than 100,000 immigrants to six Democratic-led cities with sanctuary ordinances between 2022 and 2024. In this research note, we examine whether the Texas migrant busing program led to an increase in Hispanic homelessness in cities that received buses chartered by the state. Using point-in-time data measuring local homeless popula…
The Mobile Politics of Emotions and Social Movement in Oaxaca, Mexico: Mobile Politics of Emotions and Social Movement in Oaxaca
In light of recent debates between affect and emotions in geography, this article focuses on how the emotional landscape of spatial struggles in Oaxaca articulated people together, thereby generating solidarities and a collective sociality offering the potentiality of interconnection that geographers of affect emphasize. Through an analysis of a women's march, I demonstrate how social movements move people, mobilizing them both physically and emo…
Assembling the Multitude: Material Geographies of Social Movements from Oaxaca to Occupy

I compare the practice of setting up and maintaining encampments in the Oaxaca and Occupy movements to argue that the s…

We employ these two cases to compare the historically specific public socialities and politics formed through spatial and material practices in …
