Summary
Boehm's research focuses on how immigration and the production of "illegality" intersect with gendered family relations; the experiences of children and youth in transnational perspective; and, most recently, immigration control, detention, and deportation in the 21st century. Several publications have come out of this work, including "Intimate Migrations: w88 casino games, Family, and Illegality among Transnational Mexicans" (New York University Press 2012) and "Returned: Going and Coming in an Age of Deportation" (University of California Press, 2016). Her research has been supported by an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship, a Fulbright-Garcia Robles Award, and residencies at the School for Advanced Research, the University of Arizona School of Anthropology, and the Center for the Study of Law and Society at the University of California-Berkeley. Current projects include a study of spaces of invisibility and isolation in U.S. immigration detention regimes and a collaborative project (with Susan Terrio from Georgetown University) about undocumented migrant children and youth who are categorized as "unaccompanied" by the U.S. government.
