Biography
Jamie Winders is Professor of Geography and Director of the
Autonomous Systems
Policy Institute at Syracuse University. Her research focuses on four themes: (1) the
design, regulation, and social impacts of emerging technologies, especially
autonomous systems and artificial intelligence, (2) international migration and
the politics of belonging, (3) racial formations and dynamics, and (4) the
politics of social reproduction. Her work is interdisciplinary and draws on a
range of methods, including oral histories, archival work, discourse analysis,
interviews, and life and work histories. Prof. Winders is Editor-in-Chief of
the International Migration
Review, the flagship journal in migration studies, and Associate Editor
of cultural geographies.
She also has interests in historical geography and the role
of postcolonial theory in thinking about human geographies more broadly
and frequently writes about critical pedagogy and digital geographies. In
all her work, Prof. Winders situates her research at the intersection of academia,
policy, and advocacy.
