The authors would like to thank the University of Bergen (Bergen University
Funds and Department of Health Promotion and Development, Faculty of
Psychology) for financial support for the workshop ‘Rights, Reproduction
and Care: Gender, intimacy and mobility in the context of hardening borders
and new populist nationalisms’, held in December 2017 at the University
of Bergen. The workshop, which all but one of the contributors to the book
attended, was the starting point for this volume. We would also like to
thank the series editors of ‘Rethinking Borders’ – Hasting Donnan and
Sarah Green – for their support throughout the process of realising this
book project; Tom Dark, Lucy Burns, and Deborah Smith at Manchester
University Press for their professional and friendly help in the process of
developing and finalising the manuscript; and two anonymous reviewers
for valuable comments on the book proposal and the first draft of the full
manuscript. Finally, we would like to thank Chris Hann and the Max Planck
Institute of Social Anthropology in Halle for providing space and resources
for us to work on the introductory chapters of the book.
