Last HOMInG interview (#57)

HOMING INTERVIEW #57: HAGAR KOTEF

“How does one develop a sense of home, a sense of belonging, of being in place, when one’s very practice of home and homemaking is destruction of others’ homes? … When we think of home in settler colonialism we must think constantly about these two homes, the one that is being built and the one that is being destroyed. And how the home that is destroyed can be reclaimed as part of struggles for decolonization, or even as part of living amidst structures of colonization”.

Read the interview.

 

Over the last five years, the HOMInG team has conducted interviews with about 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).
