Emily Mitchell-Eaton: “What’s Free About ‘Freely Associated Statehood’? Preserving Colonial Legacies in the Marshall Islands”
January 25, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm | Stevenson Fireside Lounge
FreeEmily Mitchell-Eaton’s work explores imperial citizenship forms and statecraft in the U.S. Pacific territories. Her research follows territorial migration policies from their enactment in the islands to the new sites of diaspora where imperial migrants resettle, exposing new racial formations, modes of (un)belonging, and immigrant solidarities.
Emily Mitchell-Eaton is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Non-citizenship, LALS/Chicano Latino Resource Center at UCSC.
The Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion.
