Living in and Working through the Wake: A Black Undocumented Student's Study Abroad Experience
Hall, Kayon A.
New Directions for Higher Education, n203 p47-60 2023
Using Sharpe's (2016) wake work theory, this paper highlights how one Black undocumented student used a study abroad experience to negotiate his dis/comfort and take up ontological space a liminal space. I argue that choosing to study abroad while risking uncertain access back in the United States is wake work. Escaping the wake, albeit short, was an intentional move to resist his liminal space, given his Blackness and immigration status. Findings reveal wake work occurred through (1) Movement: The beginning, (2) The escape, and (3) The return: Re-entering the wake.
