Valentina Biondini

Valentina Biondini is a visiting scholar at the CPCP. She is a PhD candidate in anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires with funding from CONICET. During her stay she will be supervised by Professor Miriam Ticktin, who co-directs her PhD thesis. Her dissertation research examines the gendering of the South American migration and border regime. Specifically, she critically analyzes humanitarian interventions to transit migration based on the “gender perspective,” through a multi-sited ethnography in six countries of the South American Western Corridor. Her recent and forthcoming publications analyze gender governmentality, the politicization of motherhood in migratory transits, and the configuration of the Western South American Corridor.
