I suggest that HAS offers both intellectual insights and political signposts for overcoming the interlocking production of racism and speciesism that fuels anti-immigrant white supremacy in the early 21st century. In line with a recent turn in HAS to examining the interlocking oppression of human and nonhuman animals, I propose the concept of animality as a mechanism to illuminate the historical and contemporary ways in which racism and speciesism are intersected and co-constituted.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"HSOC PhD Student Garrett Bunyak will deliver this talk on Human-Animal studies and migration at Emory University."}],"uid":"33693","created_gmt":"2019-02-25 15:03:22","changed_gmt":"2019-02-25 18:39:48","author":"Kayleigh Haskin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-02-25T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-02-25T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"618374":{"id":"618374","type":"image","title":"Garrett Bunyak Talk","body":null,"created":"1551106990","gmt_created":"2019-02-25 15:03:10","changed":"1551106990","gmt_changed":"2019-02-25 15:03:10","alt":"Flyer with image of a donkey","file":{"fid":"235365","name":"Capture.PNG","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Capture_33.PNG","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Capture_33.PNG","mime":"image\/png","size":174373,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Capture_33.PNG?itok=J9tugkW3"}}},"media_ids":["618374"],"groups":[{"id":"473211","name":"_OLD: School of History and Sociology Student Blog"},{"id":"1288","name":"School of History and Sociology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166849","name":"HSOC Blog"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
