This book is the product of an endless individual and collective process of mourning. It departs from the author’s mourning for her parents, their histories and struggles in Germany as Gastarbeiter, while it also engages with the political mourning of intersectional feminist movements against feminicide inCentral and South America; the struggles against state and police misogynoir violence of #SayHerName in the United States; the resistance of refugees and migrantized people against the coloniality of migration in Germany; and the intense political grief work of families, relatives, and friends who lost their loved ones in racist attacks from the 1980s until today in Germany. Bearing witness to their stories and accounts, this book explores how mourning is shaped both by its historical context and the political labor of caring commons, while it also follows the building of a conviviality infrastructure of support against migration-coloniality necropolitics, dwelling toward transformative and reparative practices of common justice.
Resisting the Dehumanization of Refugees

Refugees face distinct challenges and are often subject to dehumanization by politicians, media, and the public. In this context, Resisting the Dehumanization of Refugees provides urgent insights and policy relevant perspectives to improve refugees’ social well-being and integration. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, scholars from the social sciences, arts, and humanities, alongside practitioners and refugees, explore what it means to experience dehumanization. They consider how refugees’ experiences of dehumanization inform both epistemological and practical approaches to humanizing (or re-humanizing) refugees before, during, and after resettlement. By addressing these important issues, contributors marshall rich and multidimensional responses that draw upon our shared humanity and reveal new possibilities for change.
Emancipatory Imaginations

The study of higher education presupposes the ‘goodness’ of the university and the academy, and the scholars who study them. Yet the social justice intent of both have long been questioned and may be emptied out. This book explores generative developments of ‘other’ ways to study, more critically and productively, the university across disciplines. While framed affirmatively, this endeavour is a space of refusal. Refusal of the status quo, of the taken-for-granted and of hegemonic powers and violences that continue within and outside higher education institutions. Part I explores possible emancipatory frames to (in)form transformative change and its enquiry. Its four chapters deliberate how Critical University Studies may be advanced in relation to its own histories of intellectual emergence, decolonial theory, Abolitionist Studies, sustainable development, and the African university. Part II asks questions about the conditions of possibility for advancing Critical University Studies. Particular disciplines, fields of study, cases, contexts and methods of analysis are discussed within the contexts of Canada, Germany, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Exploring the effects on different academic citizens and figures, the six chapters in this section combine to assert the pervasiveness of the problematics of the politics of participation for marginalised and minoritised academic citizens’ agency and authority; and to uphold the value of resistance in the formation and authorisation of persons and knowledges. Part III (re)turns to the necessity for reflexivity. The two chapters engage with its importance for scholarship and praxes for critical work to be disruptive. Recognising the potential of critique to (re)produce harmful patterns requires such logics and desires be identified and interrupted. Emancipatory Imaginations: Advancing Critical University Studies mobilises engagement with the question of how the critical study of the university is to be advanced in scholarship, framing, practice and praxes - within, beyond and against traditions of the past and present. It is thus of interest to academics, students and intellectuals who are concerned with transformative change within universities.
