B Camminga (*they) joined the African Centre for Migration & Society as a Postdoctoral Researcher in 2018. Their previous work tracked the conceptual journeying of the term ‘transgender’ from the Global North along with the physically embodied journeying of transgender asylum seekers from countries within Africa to South Africa and considered the interrelationships between the two. Their research interests include rights, migration, asylum and diaspora as they relate to transgender people from the African continent; the bureaucratization of gender in relation to transgender bodies and asylum regimes globally; possibilities for mobility and migration of transgender identified people from, across and within the African region and the history of ‘trans phenomena’ in South Africa.
