- **Event Description**: University of Manchester, Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th December 2025,
Kanaris lecture theatre, Manchester MuseumAbout this EventThe migrant body has long been a site of struggle and activism. Only recently, however, has it become the focus of sustained migration research. Research conducted so far also tends to prioritise migrant experiences in Europe and the US, meaning analysis of migration within the Global South is both urgent and necessary.This conference has two aims. At the conceptual level, it aims to advance an intersectional understanding of the migrant body that considers how gender, race, sexual identity, and other social and political categories interact to shape migrant experiences. To achieve this, the conference will bring together a range of disciplinary perspectives, including geography, anthropology, development studies, and the visual arts.At the empirical level, the presentations and complementary visual programme will consider migrations that take place within or between regions of the Global South. We will bring together emerging and established scholars from both the Global South and the Global North to explore the potential of the migrant body as a starting point for analysing how migrants encounter and navigate various forms of (dis)advantage throughout their migration journeys, including the migrant body as a site of resistance.With the generous support of the British Academy Conference Grants and the University of Manchester Hallsworth Conference Fund.ConvenorProf Tanja Bastia, University of ManchesterPhoto competition juryDr Erika Busse, Associate Professor, Sociology, Macalester CollegeDr María Calderón Muñoz, Independent ResearcherDr Verónica Castro, Visual Anthropologist and Film DirectorPhoto exhibition, The migrant body in South-South migrationCurated by Dr Verónica CastroPremiere film screeningsMIGRANT BODY: ABDULAI and ELHADJI, BINTA, AND AWA / Cape VerdeFilm produced and made by Verónica Castro and Helena InvernoMIGRANTS: We Cannot Be Sad Here and In Plain Sight/ MalaysiaDirected by Sheril A.
