Last HOMInG interview (#60)

HOMING INTERVIEW #60: RAHUL RAO

“At the end of the day, home is a boundary making project. And so we always have to ask: where is the boundary drawn, and what is the consequence of drawing the boundary somewhere, in space as well as in time? What happens to the people, animals and objects outside of the boundary? That’s the question”. 

 

Over the last five years, the HOMInG team has conducted interviews with sixty scholars and researchers on home and migration, worldwide, all across the disciplinary spectrum of social sciences. An edited and commented set of interviews has been published, under a framework of “homemaking from the margins”, in Thinking home on the move (2020). Below is a list of all the HOMInG interviews we have collected so far.
