The international Summer School, “GENDER AND RACE IN TRANSNATIONAL MIGRATION STUDIES,” 
is an undertaking that aims at enlarging the scope of the conversation (analysis and investigation) of international migration in the sphere of knowledge and higher education. This course is offered through the Center of Study and Investigation for Decolonial Dialogues, in Barcelona, Spain, in collaboration with the Ethnic Studies Program at the University of California, Berkeley. The seminar will be held at the PAIDEIA FOUNDATION.
International Migration is a fundamental process of the world today.
This summer school explores transnational migration processes from a Race and Gender perspective. How sexism and racism affects migration processes and migrants incorporation to metropolitan centers is a central question for this summer school. Gender and Race are used here as analytical categories constitutive of social dynamics, in particular international migration. We will focus on comparative migrations from the Global South to the Global North. The concept of intersectionality developed by Black Feminists is going to be central to our summer school.
The idea of the summer school is to encourage a conversation among scholars who are working on questions of Transnationalism using a Gender and/or Race perspective. We would like to explore the intersectionality between these two forms of oppression and its relation to transnational migration. How does sexism and racism articulate the experience of transnational migrants? What are the complex relationships between minorities and immigrants in terms of gender and racial discrimination? What are the empirical and theoretical insights gained by an analysis that emphasizes on the “intersectionality” between gender and race? What empirical 
agenda can be developed out of these questions?
