90. AAA 2025 Part 2: Race Across Borders

This is the second of a three-part miniseries covering the 2025 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in New Orleans. Throughout this miniseries, you’ll hear segments from some of the panels and roundtables organized by the Society for Cultural Anthropology at the conference. This second part engages with the central theme of race across borders. This involves questioning how borders are shaped by embodiment, memory, and movement and power. From the streets of New Orleans to the borderlands of the Dominican Republic and Haiti; from Puerto Rican and Black diasporas to queer diasporas; from performance spaces to the bureaucratic offices of Berlin, these presentations ask: What does it mean to live, move, and make kin under the shadow of borders? And how do people create spaces of freedom and resistance within and along border regimes? Show notes: culanth.org/fieldsights/aaa-2025-part-2-race-across-borders
