Listen "#38 BIG Podcast – « Borders and Gender Studies in North America » PART 1 - With: Andréanne Bissonnette, Political Science Researcher, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Border Policy Research Institute (WWU)"
Episode Synopsis
Andréanne Bissonnette, Political Science Researcher, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Border Policy Research Institute (WWU) and Associate Researcher at the Raoul Dandurand Chair (UQAM);What are the relationships between Gender Studies and Border Studies? What does the prism of Gender Studies contribute to better understanding border policies and the effects of borders on border areas and marginalized people? In this interview, we will better understand that the relation between these two academic fields is based on the idea that borders, particularly political ones, are gendered and shaped by power dynamics. The intersection of these fields allows us to explore how borders affect individuals differently depending on their gender and identities. This podcast is divided into two parts. The first part is a General overview on Gender and Border Studies. The second part focuses on the relations between Gender Studies and Border Studies in the North American Case Study.Time Markers00:00 Introduction to Part 20:24 Characteristics of North American region5:06 Borderlands are neither fully national nor international8:53 Reproductive rights policies and US-Mexico border11:50 Impacts of US administration's policies on border management19:41 Local and innovative initiatives about forms of cross-border governance25:30 Challenges in overcoming gender injustices in border areas29:43 Index that assesses the most inclusive borders in the world?30:28 Borderlands Studies and Innovative ways to support academic research?33:45 Advice for future generations of researchers in Gender/Border StudiesWebsites:BIG Website: https://biglobalization.org JMN Website: https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.phpSubscribe: http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization Twitter: https://twitter.com/big_uvic
