The Sexual Politics of Border Control Special Issue
We are very excited to announce that the Special Issue on ‘The Sexual Politics of Border Control’ is now available in Ethnic and Racial Studies. The special issue conceptualizes sexuality as a method of bordering and examines how sexuality operates as a key site for the containment and regulation of movement. By bringing together queer scholarship on borders and migration with the rich archive of feminist, Black, Indigenous and critical border perspectives, it highlights how the heteronormativity of the border intersects with the larger dynamics of racial capitalism, imperialism and settler colonialism, reproductive inequalities and the containment of contagion, disease and virality.
