Pablo Seward Delaporte

Pablo Seward Delaporte is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Saint Louis University's College of Arts and Sciences. His work bridges critical medical anthropology, decolonial theory, and feminist studies to examine migrant experiences in Latin America.

• Ph.D. in Anthropology, Stanford University
• M.A. in Anthropology, Stanford University

His research explores migration, racialization, urban precarity, and ecologies of care, particularly focusing on Chile's northern border regions. Using ethnographic and archival methods, he analyzes how migrant women navigate dangerous environments to create livable spaces, challenging state-led resettlement policies.

His publications include analyses of neoliberal governance in migrant campamentos, violence and care dynamics, and spiritual recovery in drug-affected zones. Current projects investigate housing precarity and racialized governance in Antofagasta.
