About

Geraldine Pratt is a professor at the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on transnational migration, labour precarity, and new geographies of dementia care. She recently completed a book (Migration in Performance: crossing the colonial present, 2019) on the travels of Caleb Johnston’s and my testimonial play, performed in Vancouver (2009), Berlin HAU1 (2009), Manila (PETA, 2013; in collaboration with Migrante International, 2014), Whitehorse (2015), and Winnipeg (2019). She has been preoccupied with how to put stories of transnational migration and family separation into circulation, with the politics of testimony and witnessing, and the obligations of witnessing and dialogue within, beyond and across national and community borders. She has two new projects: one on new landscapes of dementia care, the other on conditions of precarity among migrant and undocumented workers in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic.
