Diaspora, Translocation, and Home

Experiences of home are often dis-located. Rather than a stable or universally fixed site, home is relational, political, embodied, and continually re-made through everyday practices, mobilities, and negotiations of belonging. The works described here examine how home is constituted and reconstituted through ongoing attempts, ruptures, failures, and renewals of attachment.

Here, diaspora, translocation, and home are relational, embodied, and contested processes rather than fixed places or identities. Through care-full, community-engaged, and interdisciplinary approaches, we examine how migration, displacement, memory, and mobility shape experiences of belonging, attachment, and world-making. This work is particularly concerned with the everyday practices through which individuals and communities negotiate loss, continuity, care, and collective futures amid social and structural inequities.
