Nancy Hiemstra is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department at Stony Brook University, within the College of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on global migration, immigration enforcement, detention/deportation policies, and their intersections with gender, race, and neoliberalism, particularly in Latin America. She has authored books such as Detain and Deport: The Chaotic U.S. Immigration Enforcement Regime (2019) and co-edited Intimate Economies of Immigration Detention (2016). Her work critiques U.S. immigration policing, detention economies, and the impact of security policies on migrants. Collaborations with Dr. Deirdre Conlon explore detention's entanglement with local economies. Hiemstra advocates for feminist methodologies to address hidden or marginalized research subjects. Her recent articles analyze Venezuelan migrants in Ecuador, gendered violence in post-coup Turkey, and U.S. border policies targeting immigrant fertility.
