Abstract
Harsha Walia is the winner of the 2022 Conrad M. Arensberg Award given by the Society for the Anthropology of Work for outstanding contributions to the anthropology of work from inside the discipline and beyond. Walia is a scholar, activist, and organizer committed to migrant justice and border abolition. She is also author of Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (Fernwood Press 2021), Undoing Border Imperialism (AK Press 2013), as well as numerous journal articles. Walia's analysis and her organizing with No One Is Illegal and other activist communities lay bare why border imperialism continues to feed into worker exploitation and why border abolition is imperative for migrant worker justice. This roundtable discussion is the culmination of collective thinking by anthropologists about how Walia's work has influenced their own, including their research, writing, and advocacy with their interlocutors who live and work across borders.
哈沙-瓦利亚(Harsha Walia)是2022年工作人类学协会颁发的康拉德-M-阿伦斯伯格奖(Conrad M. Arensberg Award)的获得者,该奖项旨在表彰学科内外对工作人类学的杰出贡献。瓦莉娅是一位致力于移民正义和废除边境的学者、活动家和组织者。她还著有《边境与统治》(Border and Rule:全球移民、资本主义和种族主义民族主义的兴起》(Fernwood Press 2021 年出版)、《废除边境帝国主义》(AK Press 2013 年出版)以及多篇期刊论文。瓦莉亚的分析以及她与《没有人是非法的》(No One Is Illegal)和其他活动团体的组织工作,揭示了为什么边境帝国主义继续助长对工人的剥削,以及为什么废除边境对移民工人的正义势在必行。本次圆桌讨论是人类学家们集体思考的结晶,他们探讨了瓦莉娅的工作如何影响了他们自己的工作,包括他们的研究、写作,以及与跨境生活和工作的对话者一起开展的宣传活动。
