Anne-Marie D'Aoust
Anne-Marie D’Aoust is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science. Her current research focuses on the problematization of marriage migration by various states, and theoretically reflects on the ways in which love, as an emotion, is being used as a complex technology of control, risk management, and empowerment of migrants. Her case studies include the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Denmark and Germany, and examine the actual or proposed implementation of several legal and technocratic changes that have made marriage migration a “problem,” a site of regulation integral to the governmentality of immigration in these countries. She has published in journals such as Journal of International Relations and Development and Cultures & Conflits, as well as a chapter on the security governance of the so-called international ‘mail-order brides” industry in Miguel de Larrinaga and Marc Doucet (eds.), Security and Global Governmentality: Globalization, Governance and the State (Routledge, 2010).
