Katrien De Graeve is a postdoctoral researcher of the Research Foundation Flanders, Belgium (FWO), affiliated to the Centre for Research on Culture and Gender, Ghent University. In 2012, she completed her PhD at the Department of Comparative Sciences of Culture at Ghent University with a critical analysis of intensive parenting practices in Belgian-Ethiopian adoptive families. In 2013–2014, she was a fellow of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies. She has published widely on issues of care and citizenship, drawing upon her empirical research on transnational adoption and guardianships for unaccompanied minors. In her current research project (2016–2019), she has shifted focus to the study of sexuality/romantic relationships and discourses of exclusivity and plurality in light of the normative two-parent nuclear family.

In 2013–2014, she was a fellow at Helsinki Collegium of Advanced Studies, where she developed a project on primitive otherness and emotions in Finnish literature. She has published on issues of nineteenth-century realism and naturalism, including feelings of nostalgia, melancholia and disgust in literature. Her ongoing project investigates the complex interconnections of negative emotions and care in the context of realism. She is currently a university researcher in an Academy of Finland project Literature and Emotions.
Katariina Mäkinen is a postdoctoral researcher in gender studies in the University of Tampere. Her PhD research on work-related coaching traced the intersections of individualization and gender in the context of late capitalism, and was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Helsinki Collegium (2013–2015) where she developed a project interrogating anti-immigration activism from the perspectives of neoliberal citizenship regimes and relations of class. Her current research investigates new forms of gendered work in the context of digitalization and precarity.

Anne-Marie Fortier is Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University. The overarching theme that connects her work concerns the relationship between mobility and immobility. She asks: How do governing processes of subject and identity formation function through and in response to migration? She has explored these processes in relation to migrant community formation; multiculturalism, cohesion and integration;
queer diasporas; national genetic genealogies; and, currently, citizenisation measures and processes. In addition to numerous journal articles and book chapters, she is the author of Migrant Belongings and Multicultural Horizons, and co-editor (with Sara Ahmed, Claudia Castañeda and Mimi Sheller) of Uprootings/Regroundings: Questions of Home and Migration.
