Reena Kukreja is Associate Professor in the Department of Global Development Studies, with cross appointments in the Department of Gender Studies and Cultural Studies program at Queen’s University, Canada. Her current work examines the intersections of political economy, masculinity, and regimes of bordering and deportability on the lives of undocumented South Asian men in Greece, and the impact of far-right populism on migrant workers in agriculture and the gig economy in Southern Europe.
