Time Won't Give Me Time
Drawing on theories of gendered and racialized organizations and research on racialization and citizenship, we weave together an intersectional understanding of gendered racial meaning making in tech work. We focus on workers' control over time, an important point of overlap between gendered and racialized organizations theories. Based on interviews with 85 tech workers who are either U.S. workers or Indian men in the United States with temporary…

The Migrant Care Work Regime and the Making of the Constant‐Care Worker Among Indian Immigrant Nurses
Indian nurses coming to the U.S. on H‐1B visas that tie them to employers are often the breadwinner for spouses and other family members on dependant visas, where the dependant spouses do not have the ability to work due to visa regulations, thus upsetting complex gender dynamics in the household. In this paper, we investigate how Indian immigrant nurses in the U.S. navigate their status as the primary migrant and, family breadwinner with the inc…
Pandemic Perspectives
Pandemic Perspectives: Racialized and Gendered Experiences of Refugee and Immigrant Families in Canada Pallavi Banerjee (bio) and Carieta Thomas, Special Guest Editors (bio) In Canada and across the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified many existing underlying inequities including racial injustices and gender-based discriminations (Banerjee, Khandelwal and Sanyal 2022; Hamilton, Esses and Walton-Roberts 2022; Özkazanç Pan and Pullen 2020). …
Toll of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Primary Caregiver in Yazidi Refugee Families in Canada
Existing discourse on refugee resettlement in the West is rife with imperialist and neoliberal allusions. Materially, this discourse assumes refugees as passive recipients of resettlement programs in the host country denying them their subjectivities. Given the amplification of all social and economic inequities during the pandemic, our paper explores how Canada's response to the pandemic vis-a-vis refugees impacted the everyday of Yazidis in Cal…
Deep care
In this paper, we adopt a Southern feminist epistemology to critically appraise the ways in which media discourse on gendered organizing during the Indian COVID-19-induced migrant crisis resists or reinforces hegemonic caste hierarchies. To contextualize this work, we briefly historicize scholarship on feminist organizing around land rights, hunger, and violence, while noting the politics of contagion and pollution narratives plaguing the pandemi…

Paradoxes of Being and Becoming South Asian Single Mothers
Based on ethnography in a South Asian ethnic enclave and in-depth interviews with South Asian immigrant women, including single mothers working in the enclave, we explore the becoming and being of South Asian single motherhood. We specifically inquire how the becoming of single mothers affects the work–family lives of the mothers in an enclave economy. We show that the interplays of structural forces like immigration laws, racialized model-minori…
Subversive Self-Employment
Drawing on intersectionality theory, I examine how U.S. visa policies shape the informal self-employment experiences of Indian women and men who migrated to the United States on "dependent visas" to accompany their highly skilled spouses on temporary work visas. Dependent visa policy prohibits employment for the visa holders for a period that can last from 6 to 20 years. Despite this, only a handful of those on dependent visas pursued informal se…
Analysis of Favorable Factors for Continued Adoption of Perennial Fodder Crops by Livestock Farmers
A study to analyse the favorable factors for continued adoption of perennial fodder crops by livestock farmers was conducted. Ninety-five perennial fodder growing farmers of two districts of Karnataka, viz., Belagavi and Dharwad, identified through snowball technique were interviewed using standardized interview schedule. Out of 19 variables used for the study, 15 variables exhibited positive and significant relationship with continuance of peren…
Response to Landau
Loren B. Landau’s article ‘Communities of Knowledge or Tyrannies of Partnership: Reflections on North–South Research Networks and the Dual Imperative,’ claims that North–South research networks reinforce many of the hierarchies that they are meant to challenge. With increasing pressure to collaborate due to northern funding imperatives, the research centres of the north are forced to find partners in the south who often have limited capabilities.…
