This episode explores the intersection of gender, mobility, and racial identity within the American diaspora. It highlights that gender and mobility are not binary experiences; one’s racial identity influences their mobility experience. Understanding these limitations and barriers is crucial for addressing concerns, developing gender-responsive solutions, and advancing equitable access to transport.
In this episode, host Melissa Bruntlett speaks with Tamika I. Butler and Veronica O. Davis, discussing the experiences of the American diaspora and sparking further global conversations. The webinar focuses on how, beyond gender, racial identity impacts one’s experience of mobility, from issues such as increased fear and experiences of violence, persecution, and exclusion, to considerations around cost, access, comfort, and reporting incidents of (gender-based) violence.
