Maria Amelia Viteri holds an affiliation as a research professor at the Department of Anthropology at Universidad San Francisco de Quito, and as a Research Associate with the Department of Anthropology at University of Maryland, College Park. She is the author of Desbordes: Translating Racial, Ethnic, Sexual and Gender Identities across the Americas (2014), also published in Spanish (2020). Her work has critically addressed borders and inequality as mutually constitutive with issues around gender, sexuality, racism, belonging, and migrant status in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. Iréri Ceja is a PhD Student in Social Anthropology at the National Museum, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She is the co-author of the books Corpografías: género y fronteras en América Latina (2017) and Ah, usted viene por la visa Mercosur: integración, migración y refugio en Ecuador (2017). She has been a fellow of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT, Mexico) and the Wenner Gren Foundation (United States). She has experience in anthropology, with an emphasis on migration and forced displacement, and works on the policy axes of life and death, the state, violence and humanitarianism. Cristina Yépez Arroyo is a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at McGill University. She is the co-author of the book Corpografías: Gender and Borders in Latin America (2017). Her work focuses on the crossroads between gender, human mobility, detention and deportation. She has worked as independent consultant and researcher for various projects related to gender and sexualities, human mobility and prevention of violence both in continental Ecuador and in the Galapagos Islands.
