Esta migracion, que se produce a traves de varios paises (Republica Dominicana, Ecuador y Peru) constituye un nuevo patron de migracion Sur-Sur que pone en evidencia las tensiones entre las politicas que asumen a la migracion como un fenomeno temporal y las que alientan el asentamiento de los migrantes.

Yet there has been little empirical intersectional research on how the university as an institution interferes with critical and feminist teaching. Extending Torres’s intersectional theorization of critical pedagogy and building on sociological research on workplace inequality, we investigate the role of the neoliberal university in facilitating/obstructing feminist critical teaching. We conducted ethnography on three campuses across two countries, the United States and Peru. While we expected that our unconventional teaching methods combined with our foreignness, womanhood, and queerness would invite resistance from students, we found that the messages sent by the race- and gender-neutral neoliberal university were at the root of the illegibility of our teaching and our intellectual existence. We argue that the neoliberal university as it exists is antithetical to critical pedagogy in general, and feminist teaching in particular, attesting to the urgency of returning critical pedagogy to its roots in political organizing beyond formal education.

Most of the literature has focused on the changing status of women in so-called ‘host’ countries. However, it is well recognised that migration creates ripples of change throughout the migration process, not just at destinations. in this paper we draw the readers’ attention to the changes that take place as a result of cross-border labour migration in places of origin. We focus on gender as an analytical concept, rather than just women as subjects. Through a comparative analysis of male-led and women-led migration, we analyse the changes that migration brings about for women in places of origin, particularly Bolivian and Peruvian cities. On the basis of in-depth interviews with women in low-income urban and peri- urban neighbourhoods we find that in both women-led and male-led migration patriarchal relations are challenged but then reconstituted.
