Lisa Ann Senecal
Lisa Ann Senecal is a PhD Candidate (Migrations, Anthropology) at The Institute of Social Sciences at the University of Lisbon (ICS-Ulisboa). Her research centers around the intersection of race, class, and migratory spaces. Her research focuses on antiracism, inequality, noncitizenship, representations, cultural transformation, and mobility justice as these concepts intersect within a regime of borders and/or in border spaces. By centering the Mediterranean/European/North-South continuum, her project aims to map the Maltese border by teasing apart structural aspects of the border from its embodied aspects with an emphasis on noncitizen subjectivities – that is the actual experience of borders.

Using border ethnography as a tool to define physical and conceptual spaces of engagement, the thesis aims to disentangle constructed aspects of the regime of borders from those which are experienced by the noncitizens who cross them.
