Producing and Embodying the Humanitarian Border
Recent scholarship on forced migration, geopolitics, and the aid industry has built on William Walter’s concept of ‘humanitarian borders’, which refers to the ways in which humanitarian aid delivery becomes entangled with the enforcement of Global South-Global North borders. In this article, I apply a feminist geopolitics lens to expand on this idea, looking at humanitarian action related to the prevention of and response to gender-based violence…
Border Humanitarians
Introduction by Editors
When it comes to field research in contexts of forced migration, many of the challenges relate to questions of power. Most research is plagued by a power imbalance between those who call themselves ‘researcher’ or ‘technical expert’ and the forced migrants who participate in the research in various ways. This Special Section considers how this imbalance influences the production of research and how we might address the challenges created by resea…
Storytelling in Research with Refugees
Researchers' methodological decisions have an impact on who gets to hear a refugees' story, the meaning a story conveys, and, consequently, the implications a story might have for forced migrants. What we as researchers, or aid workers, do with the stories gathered from forced migrants can contribute to their social and political invisibility, or our scholarship can be a tool to amplify refugee voices as forms of knowledge that are valid not only…
A Review of Disrupting Border Capitalism
To what extent can the particularities of a case study shed light on the contradictions of global systems? Campbell’s recent monograph addresses this question through an ethnographic account of actually existing late capitalism in the Global South. Asking “what constitutes a politics of precarity in Asia” (p. 159), Campbell spent more than two years conducting fieldwork in an industrial zone on the Thai-Burmese border, based in a migrant labor ri…

Negotiating Politics and Culture
Historically, culturally, and politically, the United States has maintained an ambivalent relationship with the discourse of international human rights. While integral to its codification as transnational principle and law, the United States has not moved significantly toward ratification of human rights conventions, nor has the language of human rights been widespread in US society. Within the context of this complicated relationship, this artic…
Displaced Iraqis in Jordan
While it is not uncommon for humanitarian organizations, such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to implement information campaigns about forced migrant rights, the assistance available to them, and options for the future, these efforts often meet unintended consequences. Forced migrants have, at times, rejected, misinterpreted, and condemned the information they get from these sources. This paper argues that official information c…
