This article argues that intimacy and human mobility are interrelated, and that this relationship is integral to the way borders function and are experienced. I propose the concept of intimate-mobility entanglement to describe this relationship of interdependence. Based on primary research conducted with Haitian domestic workers that work in the Do...
In this chapter I argue that these structural conditions of exploitability and deportability are not external to the notion of care but are rather the conditions under which care is conceived and put into practice; they determine who provides care, but also who is deserving of what forms of care and under what terms. Such conditionings are the prod...

Despite the collective aspects of the struggle against COVID-19, the pandemic emerged in a context of governance fragmentation and acute inequality. A critical Global Governance perspective helps elucidate how scale matters in relation to the COVID-19 crisis. Contrary to the aspirations of the rhetoric that accompanied the emergence of Global Gover...
This dissertation asks: how does intimate labour interact with the mobility and political subjectivities of Haitian migrant women and women of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic (DR)?
