Jamie Winders

Jamie Winders is professor of geography and the environment and associate provost for faculty affairs 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. 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.
