[Canceled] "Migrant Crossings" Annie Isabel Fukushima

Please note: This event is canceled to help limit the potential exposure of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). For updated information on SF State's response to COVID-19, visit the novel coronavirus information page. Migrant Crossings examines the experiences and representations of Asian and Latina/o migrants trafficked in the United States into informal economies and service industries. Annie Isabel Fukushima explores the notion of "perfect victimhood", and iconic victims, and how trafficking subjects are resurrected for contemporary movements as illustrated in visuals, discourse, court records, and policy. She deeply interrogates what it means to bear witness to migration in these migratory times—and what such migrant crossings mean for subjects who experience violence during or after their crossing.
