Place: 330 Hendricks Hall, the Jane Grant Conference Room.
Jennifer Erickson, doctoral student, Anthropology, “Gendered Citizenship and the State in a Neoliberal Era: Refugees and Social Service Organizations in Fargo, North Dakota.”
This talk is based on her dissertation which uses social service organizations as a lens for examining broader ideas about social citizenship in a neoliberal era in the United States. By comparing Bosnian and Southern Sudanese refugees and their experiences with public and private social service organizations in Fargo, North Dakota, her research aims to better understand the quotidian ways in which gender, race, class, and culture shape ideas about citizenship and the state.
