Outbound/In: Racialized Borders and Migration Stories

• In Event: Migration and Borders: Mobility, Identity, and the Self

Abstract

This paper reflects on the challenges as well as the transformative potential of participatory research collaborations on gender, religion, and migration. It introduces an intersectional and interactional lens for interpreting lived experiences, memories, and everyday practices through audio-visual media. This presentation further engages with the possibilities of integrating collaborative research and filmmaking in classroom pedagogy. Along with a screening and critical commentary on an eight-minute video documentary, this paper shows how open access media can be integrated in university courses in order to assist students in identifying unconventional sites of knowledge production and identity formation.
