WGS 2021 Annual Lecture: “Gender and International Migration: From Slavery to Present”
PROFESSOR KATHARINE DONATO
Date: September 14, 2021
Time: 3:30–5 p.m.
Nebraska Union Room: Platte River Room
Contact: Rose Holz, rholz2@unl.edu
In this lecture, Professor Donato will discuss her book project with historian Donna Gabaccia. Their work suggests that the roles of women and men in human migrations require a substantial re-thinking and shift away from simple notions related to the feminization of migration. Women and men who migrate live in gendered social worlds, embedded in the contexts of families and communities. As a result, women and men have always been actors who migrate, and at times and in different places, women (men) are more likely than men (women) to migrate.
