Talk: Undesirables – Queering the History of U.S. Immigration Policy

October 26, 2018

Thursday, Nov. 1, 4:30-6PM, BMC Old Library Room 224

Julio Capó, Jr. from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst will present on how sexual and gender difference have been regulated at the U.S. borders since the late nineteenth century. The talk provides a historical overview of the critical ways sexuality and gender have collided with constructions of race and ethnicity to create "desirable" and "undesirable" categories of migrants and immigrants.
