In the morning of mid-November 2022, I received the news that my paper "Embodying the deported spectacle in Tijuana. The lived experiences of Mexican deported men who stay in temporary male-exclusive shelters in Tijuana" was accepted in the 2023 edition of the Latin American Studies Association to held in Vancouver, Canada, between 24 and 27 of may.
This promises to be an incredible experience not only due to the scope of researchers presenting and attending, but also due to the outstanding researchers that make up our panel "Affectivities of the Migrant Body: Narratives of (Im)mobilities", chaired by Brooke Kipling, bakipling@ucdavis.edu, Graduate Student, UC Davis and session organizer (somewhat of a lucky accident), Renato Galhardi, renato.almeida@correo.uia.mx, Universidad Iberoamericana.
This panel will include the following presentations:
“La indiferencia hacia los migrantes con discapacidad”: Theorizing Migrant Relations via Debility in Transit through Mexico Brooke Kipling, bakipling@ucdavis.edu, Graduate Student, UC Davis;
Embodying the deported spectacle in Tijuana. The lived experiences of Mexican deported men who stay in temporary male-exclusive shelters in Tijuana. Renato Galhardi, renato.galhardi@gmail.com, Universidad Iberoamericana;
Feeling like a tourist, traveling like a migrant Conceptualizing “migration-as-travel” through migrant travel accounts Maria Jose Gutierrez, mjgutierrezj@ucdavis.edu, University of California Davis;
The Military Service to Deportation Pipeline: Non-citizen US Veterans Deported from the Country They Served Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana, ldsdelacruz@ucdavis.edu, University of California Davis;
I am delighted to be part of this fantastic panel, and I am looking forward to attending, physically, the conference in May 2023.
2023 will be a memorable year.
