BRENDA NYANDIKO SANYA is a Ph.D. candidate and Cultures of Law in Global Contexts fellow at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Broadly, her research explores educative practices and spaces where identities, rights, and documentation are contested, produced, and reproduced, and circulated in and through global landscapes. Currently, Sanya’s research is focused on African immigration to the U.S. She uses theories from the fields of Black, postcolonial, and queer studies to generate a conversation about the social boundaries of immigration documentation and rights and the institutional use of discourses associated with educational achievement. Sanya’s work on education and black diasporas, transnational feminism, mobility and technology in Kenya, and archiving African feminist histories has been published in Feminist Africa, Left History, Transnational Social Review, Policy Futures in Education, in Mobilized Identities: Mediated Subjectivities and Cultural Crisis in the Neoliberal Era, and most recently in Kenya after Fifty: Reconfiguring Education, Gender, and Policy.
