FINAL seminar! Bodies. Borders, Becomings: A study of bordering and immobility through the Palestinian body

Hello AnthroMobbers, with apologies again for cross-posting,

Ruxandra Ana and I warmly invite you to join us this Wednesday afternoon for the seventh and final session of our series Bodies. Borders. Becomings. , hosted by the Centre for Minorities Research at the University of St. Andrews.

In times marked by irreversible climate catastrophe, proliferating far-right politics, war and genocide, and unprecedented migratory movements, borders remain urgent sites of investigation. This series brings together scholars exploring the transformative potential that arises at the points of contact between bodies and the multiple border worlds — geopolitical, digital, spatial, and affective — that shape contemporary life.

This Wednesday, June 24th, from 3-4pm UK time, we will be pleased to welcome Chloé Chbat from the University of Manchester for her talk "Bodies as borders: A study of bordering and immobility through the Palestinian body within the settler colonial context in Israel and the OPT".

See you Wednesday,

Elise and Ruxandra
