Foreclosure, Disclosure, and Political Engagement: A Collaborative Reflection on Scholar-Activism in the Neoliberal University
Considering the increased institutionalization of scholar-activist research across many university contexts, this reflection critically engages the assumed harmony between scholarship and activism in migration research. Collaboratively authored by eight academics at various disciplinary, geographic, gendered/racialized, and career-level junctures, the article examines the commitments, aspirations, anxieties, and contradictions of activist scholar…
Makeshift activism and the afterlives of refugee welcome in Covid-19 Italy
This article captures a shift occurring at the peripheries of the Italian asylum system where, as reception infrastructures are progressively gutted, dismantled, and transformed into security apparatuses, local organizations refocus their efforts on helping refugees and asylum seekers carve out spaces of agency and autonomy in the time-space after institutional reception. I introduce the concept of "makeshift activism" to describe this relentless…

I adopt an intersectional and intergenerational feminist lens to analyze Latino educational and civic engagem…

Affordable housing activists struggle to adapt their strategies to the place and pace of redevelopment. In this context, focusing on time becomes increasingly crucial to understanding people's varying experiences and responses to these phenomena. I d…
