The African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) will host a lunchtime seminar presented by Dr Lorena Munoz.
The seminar will consider how economic practices rendered as informal dialectically shape the material and embodied spaces of everyday life of Latinx immigrants/migrants across the Americas.
It will examine the concept of Queering (informal economies) that is rethinking the (in)formal economy by understanding heterogeneous economic processes as queer, entangled and relational.
The presentation will draw from various oral histories on Latinx street vendor immigrants in the US collected over a period of 10 years in Los Angeles, Cancun and Bogota.
Munoz is from the Wits Geography Department and the Department of Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota.
