Sarah Kunz

In this engaging discussion, Sarah Kunz, a migration studies lecturer focused on privileged migration, delves into the contested category of 'expatriate' from her book, Expatriate: Following a Migration Category. She explores how definitions of expatriates have evolved, linking them to colonial histories and structural privilege. Kunz reveals the racial dynamics at play, scrutinizes the narrative around corporate relocations, and critiques the separation between International Human Resource Management and migration studies. She also teases her upcoming research on citizenship-by-investment.
