Join the Zolberg Institute for a presentation with Columba González-Duarte, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The New School for Social Research.

In this talk, González-Duarte enhances feminist theorizing on care by tracing more-than-human relationalities grounded in place but stretching across México, the United States, and Canada. Drawing on ethnographic research involving berry pickers from Canada and Mexico, González-Duarte highlights how geopolitical conditions of im/mobility intersect with specific material, semiotic, and affective relations of care involving berries, toxins, and human bodies. In line with Indigenous theorizing on how borders have colonized our political imaginaries, González-Duarte suggests that more-than-human care is relational, not territorial—not contained by borders.

Presented by the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at The New School for Social Research and The New School.
