Marting, University of Mississippi, BSS, XCll (2015), 1 March 2015

Gender and Spanish Cinema, co-edited with Steven Marsh, 2004, Oxford, Berg Publishers

Changing places: Between here & there, the local & the global
Who exactly is a migrant? Is it my fellow traveller, the person queuing at the border or the neighbour from another country who lives next door to me but, like me, came here from another place? Who, among us all, is not a migrant?

Refugee or migrant? Sometimes the line is blurred
That same idea fuels the struggle of displaced persons today. Whether driven by hunger, violence or poverty, they arrive in their host country hoping to become ordinary – different in ethnicity and culture, perhaps – productive citizens.

On gender and migration
More than through any other lens, migration foregrounds gender as a construct that is also at once a process in the making; one, too, that lends itself to change and flux. It exposes the fluidity of gender.

In Equatorial Guinea, what would it take for people power to triumph?
The problem for Equatorial Guinea is one of visibility and recognition; most African states rarely feature in western media. History is also a problem. There is a widespread and entrenched assumption that Africa is somehow “different” from Europe or the west.
