EIHS Workshop: Challenging Gender in Labor and Migration
Amelia Burke, Cassandra Euphrat Weston, Daniel Jin, David Tamayo (moderator)
This workshop delves into the often-overlooked gendered dynamics of labor and migration, inspired by Professor Larisa Veloz's research that reexamines traditional narratives surrounding migration and home. It explores topics such as the impact of migration policies on women, gendered labor mobility, community support networks, and the exploitation of labor within capitalist systems. Through these discussions, this workshop sheds light on how centering gender in historical analyses can reveal new perspectives on home, exile, and activism. Join us to uncover the intricate connections between gender, migration, and labor in both historical and contemporary contexts.
