Humanizando La Deportación/"Humanizing Deportation"

Learn about "Humanizing Deportation," a community based digital storytelling project that documents the human consequences of contemporary regimes of migration and border control in the United States and Mexico. Since early 2017, with funding from various grants, and institutional sponsorships from both UC Davis and five Mexican partner institutions, their teams in six Mexican cities, California and Ecuador have offered a platform for migrants to share personal experiences regarding borders, migration and repatriation on our bilingual open access website. Community storytellers work with academic teams to produce digital stories (testimonial audiovisual shorts) focusing on the issues they think need to be made known regarding contemporary experiences with border and migration control mechanisms.

Joining the class will be Ricardo Aguilar, a PhD Student in Spanish at the University of California, Davis. Aguilar is a member of the California research team.
