It's not too late to check out this course! With the add/drop deadline fast approaching on January 16th, consider taking ANTH 475 - Racial and Sexual Politics of Im(mobility).

This course, taught by Dr. Elif Sari, examines regimes of mobility (travel, tourism, asylum, and migration) and immobility (externalization, detention, deportation, borders, camps, and checkpoints) across global contexts. The course foregrounds race, gender, s*xuality, class, citizenship, and colonial histories to analyze racialized and s*xualized experiences of (im)mobility as sites of control and governance, resistance and negotiation, and emergence and becoming. Combining anthropology, human geography, q***r migration studies, and carcerality studies with activist art and multimedia, the course centers racialized and s*xualized communities’ border crossings, political economy of s*x travel and tourism, carceral forms of mobility control, and lived experiences of waiting, stuckness and forced movement.

It's not too late to check out this course! With the add/drop deadline fast approaching on January 16th, consider taking ANTH 303F - Sounding it Out: Music and the Making of Diasporic Life.

This course, taught by Dr. Lennon Mhishi, explores the intersections of music and socio-cultural life in the negotiations of place and belonging in the African Diaspora. What is the place of music in the histories and formations of African diasporic consciousness and legibility? How do communities, through music, grapple with the afterlives of slavery and colonialism and create livingness in the face of multiple historical and contemporary challenges?
